Singular Manual: lcm

| #### D.2.8.6 lcm Procedure from library `poly.lib` (see poly_lib). Usage: lcm(p[,q]); p int/intvec q a list of integers or p poly/ideal q a list of polynomials Return: the least common multiple of p and q: - of type int if p is an int/intvec - of type poly if p is a poly/ideal Example:
    LIB "poly.lib";
    ring  r = 0,(x,y,z),lp;
    poly  p = (x+y)*(y+z);
    poly  q = (z4+2)*(y+z);
    lcm(p,q);
    ==> xyz4+2xy+xz5+2xz+y2z4+2y2+yz5+2yz
    ideal i=p,q,y+z;
    lcm(i,p);
    ==> xyz4+2xy+xz5+2xz+y2z4+2y2+yz5+2yz
    lcm(2,3,6);
    ==> 6
    lcm(2..6);
    ==> 60
