Summary
From the fact that the lattice points on the diagonal of an m by n rectangle R are equally spaced, we have deduced that the finest subdivision of R into a regular k by k checkerboard of integer-sided tiles gives the greatest common factor (k) and the least common multiple (the total area of k tiles), with the product being the area mn of R.
