You have to use unsigned int for the result, since input can be: 2^31 - 1, so output is 2^31.

Sure, for 4 the output should be 5.

The idea is basically very simple. Say, the factorization of n is p1^q1 * p2^q2 * ... * pk^qk. Clearly, each pi^qi has to be a divisor of one of the numbers, otherwise the lcm of the numbers is not n. So in case of n = 4, the factorization is 2^2, so 4 has to be a divisor of one number. Now, since this specifies only one number, you have to add another one, and you have only the choice between 1,2 and 4. Clearly, 1 is the best choice (and it always is, if you have only one prime factor).
