Smallest Common Multiple JS Problem

JavaScript
1

Hi, I’m trying to solve this problem in JS which is present in Intermediate Algorithm Scripting. I’m getting correct answers in my browser console, but freeCodeCamp tells me a Wrong Answer for higher inputs.

Please check my code and tell me why is this happening ?

function smallestMultiple(arr) {
			var max = Math.max(arr[0],arr[1]);
			var min = Math.min(arr[0],arr[1]);
			var a = [];
			for(var i=min;i<=max;i++)
				a.push(i);
			var result = 0;	
			for(var j=a[a.length-1];j<=100000000;j++) {
				var c = 0;
				for(var i=0;i<a.length;i++) {
					if(j%a[i]===0)
						c++;
				}
				if(c==a.length) {
					result = j;
					break;
				}
			}
			return result;
		}

Thanks in Advance.

I think its due to your second for loop.

you can write // noprotect as the first line of your function and it should work.

also, one thing i noticed that may make your code a little more efficient and help with the //noprotect issue is that you are looping for each number, since it has to be a multiple of the largest number you can increase your j by your largest argument instead of just 1

for(var j=a[a.length-1];j<=100000000; j+max)

It worked. Thanks !!!
