Least common multiple

Summary

The least common multiple of two nonzero integers is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of both of them. We write it as lcm⁡(a,b)\operatorname{lcm}(a, b). The definition of the least common multiple gives the precise form and the convention when one of the numbers is 00.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
  • edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
  • edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
