{{Built-in|LCM|∧}} is a [[dyadic]] [[scalar function]] which returns the '''[[wikipedia:Least common multiple|Least Common Multiple]]''' of two integer arguments. It is an extension of [[And]] which maintains the same results on [[Boolean]] arguments and the same [[identity element]] 1, in the same way that [[GCD]] extends [[Or]]. | {{Built-in|LCM|∧}} is a [[dyadic]] [[scalar function]] which returns the '''[[wikipedia:Least common multiple|Least Common Multiple]]''' of two integer arguments.

For positive integer arguments, the least common multiple is the smallest positive number which is divisible by both numbers. If one of the arguments is zero, the LCM function returns zero. | For positive integer arguments, the least common multiple is the smallest positive number which is divisible by both numbers.
