The smallest number or simplest expression that is divisible by two or more given values or expressions.
The smallest multiple that is common to two or more numbers.
The smallest number, other than zero, that is a common multiple of two or more numbers.
the integer which is the least positive multiple of two or more specified positive integers. For example, 24 is the least common multiple of 6 and 8, as it is the smallest number that is a multiple of both.
The least common multiple of a set of two or more numbers. For example, the least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15.
The smallest number that is a multiple of two or more numbers. For example, some common multiples of 6 and 8 are 24, 48, and 72. 24 is the least common multiple of 6 and 8.
The smallest number (greater than zero) that is a multiple of a set of two or more numbers. Example: The least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15. The LCM of 10x2 and 4xy is 20x2y.
In arithmetic and number theory the least common multiple or lowest common multiple (lcm) or smallest common multiple of two integers a and b is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of both a and b. If there is no such positive integer, e.g., if a = 0 or b = 0, then lcm(a, b) is defined to be zero.
