I'm writing a MIPS Mars program to find the lowest common multiple of two integers. The function takes 4 values from 4 registers, $a0, $a1, $a2, and $a4. I've attached my code below. The program works for fine, except for one if statement. I've commented out the block that's producing an error.

It looks like I'm getting an error when it hits the bgt $a2, $a3, else line. It works fine for when the numbers are equal, and when the first number is bigger than the second number. It breaks when the first number is less than the second number, which is from the bgt line. When I run the program it gives this error message in the console;

Assemble: assembling /Usersame/Desktop/school/class/assignment/LCM_Recursive.asm

Assemble: operation completed successfully. Go: running LCM_Recursive.asm

Error in /Usersame/Desktop/school/class/assignment/LCM_Recursive.asm line 59: Runtime exception at 0x0040010c: address out of range 0x7fbffffc

Go: execution terminated with errors.

This is a screenshot of line 59;
