#### 12.2.34 lcm [Function] ¶

`lcm` &rest integers ⇒ least-common-multiple

#### Arguments and Values:: ¶

integer—an integer.

least-common-multiple—a non-negative integer.

#### Description:: ¶

lcm returns the least common multiple of the integers.

If no integer is supplied, the integer `1` is returned.

If only one integer is supplied, the absolute value of that integer is returned.

For two arguments that are not both zero,

     (lcm a b) ≡ (/ (abs (* a b)) (gcd a b))

If one or both arguments are zero,

     (lcm a 0) ≡ (lcm 0 a) ≡ 0

For three or more arguments,

     (lcm a b c ... z) ≡ (lcm (lcm a b) c ... z)

#### Examples:: ¶

     (lcm 10) ⇒  10
     (lcm 25 30) ⇒  150
     (lcm -24 18 10) ⇒  360
     (lcm 14 35) ⇒  70
     (lcm 0 5) ⇒  0
     (lcm 1 2 3 4 5 6) ⇒  60

#### Exceptional Situations:: ¶

Should signal type-error if any argument is not an integer.
