GCF ( A ; B )

Scott Morrison, InDev

Greatest Common Factor of two numbers

Description:

Uses Euclid's method of recursively computing the GCF (the GCF of two numbers is the same as the GCF of the smaller and the remainder (modula) of the larger divided by the smaller; and by definition, the GCF of any number and 0 is the number)

Note that the lowest common multiple of two numbers is their product divided by their GCF. In otherwords:
LCM(A, B) = A * B / GCF(A,B)
