JavaScript
1

a hint would be good

Your code so far


function smallestCommons(arr) {
let newArr = [];

for (let i = Math.min(arr[0], arr[1]); i <= Math.max(arr[0], arr[1]); i++) {
  newArr.unshift(i);
}
  
  let answer = newArr[0] * newArr[1];
     
     for (let i = 2; i < newArr.length; i++) {
  if (answer % newArr[i] == 0) {

  } else {
    answer *= newArr[i]
  }

  }

  return answer;

}


smallestCommons([1,5]);

Perhaps I didn’t explain well. You described what the function is supposed to do. How are you trying to do that? I don’t understand what your code is doing.
