Numbers.lcm()

added in 0.0.1 • last revisions

Syntax

function lcm(...values: number[]): number

Returns the least common multiple of two or more integers.

Parameters
values Rest

Two or more non-zero integers from which the least common multiple should be calculated. If less than two integers are specified, some numbers are floating point numbers, or some numbers are 0, this function will return 0.

Example

import { Numbers } from 'potence';

Numbers.lcm(3, 6);    // -> 6     (3 * 2 and  6 * 1)
Numbers.lcm(16, 18);  // -> 144  (16 * 9 and 18 * 8)

Remarks

The least common multiple is the smallest multiple of themselves that all the integers share.

The calculation is based on Numbers.gcd().
