### lcm
|
|
|
|
Returns the least common multiple of two or more numbers/arrays.
|
|
|
|
Use the greatest common divisor (GCD) formula and `Math.abs()` to determine the least common multiple.
|
|
The GCD formula uses recursion.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const lcm = (...arr) => {
|
|
const gcd = (x, y) => (!y ? x : gcd(y, x % y));
|
|
const _lcm = (x, y) => x * y / gcd(x, y);
|
|
return [].concat(...arr).reduce((a, b) => _lcm(a, b));
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
lcm(12, 7); // 84
|
|
lcm([1, 3, 4], 5); // 60
|
|
```
