Hey, I found an easy solution to this :

function smallestCommons([a, b]) {
let big = Math.max(a, b)
let small = Math.min(a, b)

let scm = big;

while(true) {
let isScm = true

for(let i = small; i <= big; i++) {
if(scm % i !== 0) {
isScm = false
break;
}
}

if(isScm) {
return scm
} else {
scm++
}
}
}

smallestCommons([1, 5]);

I am a big Fan of your tutorial series about the fcc Javascript topic (the fcc js course got updated just some minutes ago to a new Version with projects and such, just for you to know for your video planning ). Since this video I am really curious about the mindset for programming since the Algorithm Scripting Chapter is overwhelming me. And now we even reach to out to google to copy a solution haha. Is it common to be more proficient in googling for answers in the long term (and ofc understanding the code blocks to an extend) than trying to create every of those code snippets by yourself from scratch? I just want to understand how to approach this mentally.
