Syntax

GCD ( <Number1>, <Number2> )
Parameter Attributes Description
Number1

The first number, if value is not an integer, it is truncated.

Number2

The second number, if value is not an integer, it is truncated.

--  LCM - Returns the least common multiple of integers
DEFINE
    VAR Val1 = SELECTCOLUMNS ( GENERATESERIES ( 6, 25, 7 ), "Val1", [Value] )
    VAR Val2 = SELECTCOLUMNS ( GENERATESERIES ( 2, 3, 1 ), "Val2", [Value] )
EVALUATE
ADDCOLUMNS ( 
    CROSSJOIN ( Val1, Val2 ),
    "GCD", GCD ( [Val1], [Val2] ),
    "LCM", LCM ( [Val1], [Val2] )
)
ORDER BY [Val1], [Val2]
