Table T(i,j) = nonnegative k at which LCMlcm(i+k,j+k) reaches the minimum, read by antidiagonals (i>=1, j>=1).
Let i=10, j=3. Then LCMlcm(i,j)=30, LCMlcm(i+1,j+1)=44, LCMlcm(i+2,j+2)=60, LCMlcm(i+3,j+3)=78, and LCMlcm(i+4,j+4)=14, which is the minimum. Hence T(10,3)=T(3,10)=4.

T(i,j) = T(j,i).
T(i,j) <= |i-j|.
If i divides j or vice versa, then T(i,j) = 0.

Let ni=10, mj=3. Then LCM(n,mi,j)=30, LCM(ni+1,mj+1)=44, LCM(ni+2,mj+2)=60, LCM(ni+3,mj+3)=78, and LCM(ni+4,mj+4)=14, which is the minimum. Hence T(10,3)=T(3,10)=4.
