To find the least common multiple (LCM) of a list of numbers in C#, we can use the fact that LCM(a, b, c) = LCM(a, LCM(b, c)). In other words, we can reduce the problem to finding the LCM of two numbers at a time. Here's one way to implement this algorithm:
main.cs721 chars32 lines
The LCM
method takes a list of integers, loops through it, and calculates the LCM of each pair of numbers using the LCM
helper method. The LCM
method takes two integers and calculates their LCM using the formula a * b / GCD(a, b)
. Finally, the GCD
method calculates the greatest common divisor of two numbers using the Euclidean algorithm.
We can test the implementation by passing in the list {2, 3, 4, 5}. The LCM should be 60.
