Hi Bob,

This is excellent, really impressive & works a dream.

However, I did notice that a certain number of combinations of inputs for a
& b do not provide a result at all, which was a surprise.

For example :- f[19, 8, 6]  does not provide a result or any multiple of 8
for b value.
Is this TRUE that certain combinations of integers here should not provide
a result?

Many thanks for your help. Really appreciated.
Best regards,
Lea...
