UK English: LCM = lowest common multiple

LCM[Number a, Number b]
Calculates the least common multiple of two numbers a and b.
Example:
LCM[12, 15] yields 60.
LCM[List of numbers]
Calculates the least common multiple of the elements of the list.
Example:
LCM[{12, 30, 18}] yields 180.

CAS Syntax

LCM[Number a, Number b]
Calculates the least common multiple of numbers a and b.
Example:
LCM[12, 15] yields 60.
LCM[List of Numbers]
Calculates the least common multiple of the list of numbers.
Example:
LCM[{12, 30, 18}] yields 180.
LCM[Polynomial, Polynomial]
Calculates the least common multiple of the two polynomials.
Example:
LCM[x^2 + 4 x + 4, x^2 - x - 6] yields x³ + x² - 8x - 12.
LCM[List of Polynomials]
Calculates the least common multiple of the list of polynomials.
Example:
LCM[{x^2 + 4 x + 4, x^2 - x - 6, x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18}] yields x⁴ - 2x³ - 11x² + 12x + 36.
