In the game of Restricted Pacman, an infinite linear path is given. Pacman has to start at position 0 and eat as many candies as possible. In one move he can only jump a distance of either M or N.  If M and N are coprime numbers, find how many candies will be left on the board after the game is over.
Note: The result is always finite as after a point X every index in the infinite path can be visited. 
Example 1:
Input: M = 2, N = 5
Output: 2
Explanation: From index 0, the indices that 
can be visited are
0 + 2 = 2
0 + 2 + 2 = 4
0 + 5 = 5
0 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 6
0 + 2 + 5 = 7
0 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8
0 + 2 + 2 + 5 = 9
0 + 5 + 5 = 10
and so on.
1 and 3 are the only indices that cannot be 
visited. Therefore the candies at these two 
positions will be left on the board. 
Example 2:
Input: M = 2, N = 7
Output: 3 
Example 3:
Input: M = 25, N = 7
Output: 72
Your Task:  
You don't need to read input or print anything. Complete the function candies() which take M and N as input parameters and return the answer.
