It's more basic than that. If you have gears and you want them to return to their starting position again the ratio of the circumferences (which is the same as the ratio of the number of gear teeth) tells you all you need to know: how many times you need to go around, and how many lobes the final design will have.

I have them write the function to reduce the fractions themselves, so it's done in a very naive way.
