### lcm
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the least common multiple of two or more numbers.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `greatest common divisor (GCD)` formula and the fact that `lcm(x,y) = x * y / gcd(x,y)` to determine the least common multiple. The GCD formula uses recursion.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from functools import reduce
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
def spread(arg):
|
||||
ret = []
|
||||
for i in arg:
|
||||
if isinstance(i, list):
|
||||
ret.extend(i)
|
||||
else:
|
||||
ret.append(i)
|
||||
return ret
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
def lcm(*args):
|
||||
numbers = []
|
||||
numbers.extend(spread(list(args)))
|
||||
|
||||
def _gcd(x, y):
|
||||
return x if not y else gcd(y, x % y)
|
||||
|
||||
def _lcm(x, y):
|
||||
return x * y / _gcd(x, y)
|
||||
|
||||
return reduce((lambda x, y: _lcm(x, y)), numbers)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
``` python
|
||||
lcm(12, 7); # 84
|
||||
lcm([1, 3, 4], 5); # 60
|
||||
```
