Examples
12 is <,>,= 13
48 24
48 24
2*24 12*2
2*2*12 3*4*2
2*2*3*4 3*2*2*3 LCM = 2*2*2*2*3 =48
2*2*3*2*2
12*1 = 12 13*2= 26
48*1 = 48 24*2= 48
12 < 13
48 48
One more Example for the people that don't understand.
1 is <,>,= 12
3 36
3 36
3 6*6 LCM=2*3*2*3=36
2*3*2*3
1 * 12 = 12 12 * 1 = 12
3 * 12 = 36 36 * 1 = 36
1 = 12
3 36
