Lowest Common Mulitple of Periods within an Octave

In digital signal processing, it is sometimes required that one calculate the lowest common multiple of a number of periods. For example, imagine we have two sine waves with periods of 6 and 8 samples, and wish to calculate the discrete Fourier transform to determine the phase and amplitude of these two frequencies. Since the DFT assumes that the wave is periodic, we should use a DFT length of 24, the lowest common multiple of 6 and 8.

I came upon the inverse problem when designing a system to generate square waves, which would be analyzed with a DFT. However this problem had a further constraint, I needed to avoid interfering harmonics. A square wave has odd harmonics of the fundamental frequency. That is, for a 1 Hz square wave, there will be components at 3, 5, 7, ... Hz. In order to avoid interference between frequencies, I needed to find the shortest DFT length k that was a multiple of N periods, where the ratio of the largest and smallest periods was less than 3.

It took a bit of time to brute force the problem, so I'll include the results here:

Now, while the square wave has no even harmonics, these harmonics can be generated by non-linear processes, such as the saturation of vacuum tubes. So the same analysis was performed, constraining the ratio of the maximum and minimum periods to be less than 2 (or within one octave). Here are the results:
N=3 k=60 p=[ 3 4 5 ]

So, for example, the period of the shortest repeating waveform with 12 frequencies within an octave is 15120. If we allow frequencies up to the 2nd harmonic of the lowest frequency, the shortest period is 2520.
