In this article I would like to share with you a basic math problem in finding least common multiple numbers using PHP as my programming language. Least Common Multiple numbers it refers to the smallest nonzero number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.
I hope you will find my work useful in learning how to write a program in PHP as your programming language.
If you have some questions please send me an email at jakerpomperada@yahoo.com and jakerpomperada@gmail.com.
People here in the Philippines who wish to contact me can reach me at my mobile number 09173084360.
