lcm

lcm(x1, x2, out=None, **kwargs)

Returns the lowest common multiple of |x1| and |x2|

Parameters:

x1, x2 : ndarrays or scalar values

The arrays for computing lowest common multiple. If x1.shape != x2.shape, they must be broadcastable to a common shape (which may be the shape of one or the other).

out : ndarray or None, optional

A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned.

Returns:

y : ndarray or scalar

The lowest common multiple of the absolute value of the inputs This is a scalar if both x1 and x2 are scalars.
