Function std.numeric.lcm

Computes the least common multiple of a and b. Arguments are the same as gcd.

typeof(Unqual!T.init%Unqual!U.init) lcm(T, U) (
  T a,
  U b
)
if (isIntegral!T && isIntegral!U);

auto lcm(T) (
  T a,
  T b
)
if (!isIntegral!T && is(typeof(T.init % T.init)) && is(typeof(T.init == 0 || T.init > 0)));

Returns

The least common multiple of the given arguments.

Example

writeln(lcm(1, 2)); // 2
writeln(lcm(3, 4)); // 12
writeln(lcm(5, 6)); // 30
