lcm - Least common multiple

Syntax

L = lcm(A,B)

Description

L = lcm(A,B) returns the least common multiple of corresponding elements of arrays A and B. Inputs A and B must contain positive integer elements and must be the same size (or either can be scalar).

Examples

lcm(8,40)

ans =

    40
lcm(pascal(3),magic(3))

ans =
     8     1     6
     3    10    21
