The least common multiple (LCM) function returns the
smallest number that two positive whole numbers can divide
into evenly, of two positive whole numbers or lists of positive
whole numbers. If both arguments are lists, they must have the
same number of elements. If one argument is a list and the
other a non-list, the non-list is paired with each element of the
list, and a list is returned.
lcm(
is frequently used with fractions to find a common
denominator. See Chapter 3: Fractions for more information
