Wikipedia

  1. Least common multiple

    In arithmetic and number theory, the least common multiple, lowest common multiple, or smallest common multiple of two integers a and b, usually denoted by lcm(a, b), is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both a and b. Since division of integers by zero is undefined, this definition has meaning only if a and b are both different from zero. However, some authors define lcm(a,0) as 0 for all a, since 0 is the only common multiple of a and 0. The lcm is the "lowest common denominator" (lcd) that can be used before fractions can be added, subtracted or compared. The least common multiple of more than two integers a, b, c, . . . , usually denoted by lcm(a, b, c, . . .), is also well defined: It is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by each of a, b, c, . . .

  1. Least common multiple

    In arithmetic and number theory, the least common multiple of two integers a and b, usually denoted by LCM, is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both a and b. If either a or b is 0, LCM is defined to be zero. The LCM is familiar from grade-school arithmetic as the "least common denominator" that must be determined before fractions can be added, subtracted or compared. The LCM of more than two integers is also well-defined: it is the smallest integer that is divisible by each of them.
