@fav/math.lcm

Calculates the least common multiple of two integers.

"fav" is an abbreviation of "favorite" and also the acronym of "for all versions". This package is intended to support all Node.js versions and many browsers as possible. At least, this package supports Node.js >= v0.10 and major Web browsers: Chrome, Firefox, IE11, Edge, Vivaldi and Safari.

Install

To install from npm:

$ npm install --save @fav/math.lcm

NOTE: npm < 2.7.0 does not support scoped package, but old version Node.js supports it. So when you use such older npm, you should download this package from github.com, and move it in node_modules/@fav/math.lcm/ directory manually.

Usage

For Node.js:

var lcm = require('@fav/math.lcm');
lcm(12, 34) // => 204
lcm(12, -34) // => 204
lcm(1, 12) // => 12

lcm(0, 12) // => 0
lcm(0, 0) // => 0

For Web browsers:

<script src="fav.math.lcm.min.js"></script>
<script>
var lcm = fav.math.lcm;
lcm(12, 34) // => 102
</script>

API

lcm(x, y) : number

Calculates the greatest common divisor of two integers.

This function assumes that x, y and the result value are integers within Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER 〜 Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER, but this function returns the result as it is even if it is out of the range.

This function returns a positive number even if x or y is negative. If x or y is 0, this value returns 0.

NOTE: This function doesn't check data types of the arguments, and assumes that they are given as per the specific data types.

Parameters:

| Parameter | Type | Description | |:----------|:------:|:-------------------------------| | x | number | An integer to be calculated. | | y | number | An integer to be calculated. |

Returns:

The least common multiple of two integer parameters.

Type: number
