Can I calc - as mentioned in the topic's title - GCD (greatest common divisor) and LCM (least common multiple) of two values inside gen~?

You'll need to use a codebox, as these require an iterative procedure, i.e. a for loop, and then implement one of the typical algorithms. Once you have GCD, LCM is easy:

That's really elegant. Thank you so much, Graham.

FWIW, 4 yrs later, I did this with these. Given how integral this is, I'm very curious why there aren't GCD and LCM objects in max.

GCD = % until rest is 0, then it is the last div?

R, That would be the implication of Graham's gen patch that I used.
