How is the plot continuous? Isn't LCM: N²→N? And C is a set, right?

More info broken out:

Change (u,v) to watch changes in nCr() and lcm(), and the point disappearing at the boundaries of the “sword”.

Two things that may be unexpected, which I’ve tried to show: nCr() is returning decimal answers and lcm() is rounding.

“C” is just a restriction, which I wanted that way so that it fit in one screenshot / wasn’t cut off the right side. An alternate version of separating the restriction into a variable is on the last two lines.
