## Overview

The GCD & LCM Calculator is a straightforward mathematical utility designed to instantly find the greatest common divisor and least common multiple for any set of integers. Whether you are simplifying fractions, solving scheduling problems, or working on number theory assignments, this tool processes multiple comma-separated numbers at once to deliver accurate results in a structured JSON format.

## Inputs

- **Numbers** (text): Enter integers separated by commas (e.g. 12, 18, 24)
- **Calculation Type** (select)

## When to use

- When you need to simplify complex fractions by finding the greatest common divisor of the numerator and denominator.
- When aligning schedules, repeating events, or gear ratios that require finding the least common multiple.
- When verifying manual math calculations for number theory assignments involving multiple integers.

## How it works

- Enter two or more integers separated by commas into the Numbers field.
- Select your desired calculation type: GCD only, LCM only, or both.
- Submit the form to instantly generate a JSON output containing the calculated mathematical values.

## Use cases

- Simplifying algebraic expressions and fractions in educational settings.
- Determining the synchronization point for multiple periodic events, such as overlapping work shifts or transit schedules.
- Optimizing packaging and cutting materials into equal-sized pieces without waste.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I calculate the GCD and LCM for more than two numbers?

Yes, you can enter as many integers as you need, separated by commas, and the tool will compute the result for the entire set.

### What format should I use for the input numbers?

Enter whole numbers separated by commas, such as '12, 18, 24'.

### Can I choose to only calculate the LCM?

Yes, the Calculation Type dropdown allows you to select 'LCM only', 'GCD only', or 'Both GCD and LCM'.

### Does this tool support decimal numbers?

No, GCD and LCM calculations are mathematically defined for integers (whole numbers) only.

### How are the results formatted?

The results are returned as a structured JSON object containing the requested GCD and/or LCM values.
