350: Avoid large intermediate product in LCM r=cuviper a=mhogrefe

Changed the implementation of BigUint LCM from
`((self * other) / self.gcd(other))`
to
`self / self.gcd(other) * other`

The division is exact in both cases, so the result is the same, but the new code avoids the potentially-large intermediate product, speeding things up and using less memory.

I also removed the unnecessary parentheses, because I think it's clear what order everything will be executed in. But if others think differently I can add them back.
