The least common multiple (LCM) of two integers a and b is the smallest integer that is a multiple of both a and b.

The least common multiple (LCM) 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, i.e. if either a or b is zero, then
then LCM(a,b) is defined to be zero.

Changed: 3c4

The least common multiple can be computed by using the greatest common divisor (or GCD) of a and b,

In case not both a and b are zero, the least common multiple can be computed by using the greatest common divisor (or GCD) of a and b,
