By the way, it took Scratch 46 seconds to find the LCM of 270 and 120 using this algorithm. It took Python about 2 seconds using a similar algorithm.

LCM with Scratch
Source code here. If anything, this is a good way to illustrate that using multiples to find LCM can be extremely time consuming, even for a computer. The factoring method becomes much more appealing when faced with finding the LCM of 270 and 120.
