Talk:Least common multiple

When I first wrote the task, I forgot about the special case for zero. I later added this special case to the task, but I left it as a draft task. --Kernigh 00:29, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Yet another way, isn't?

From "Yet another way is to use rational arithmetic; if you add 1/m and 1/n and reduce the fraction, then the denominator is the lcm"

I did the following: <lang python>>>> def lcm(a, b): return (fractions.Fraction(1,a) + fractions.Fraction(1,b)).denominator if a and b else 0

>>> lcm(12, 18) 36 >>> lcm(-6, 14) 21 >>> # Whoops!</lang> It is out by any common factor. --Paddy3118 03:17, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

I do not know where you found that sentence, but a bigger problem seems to be that all of the page history for this page displays for me as 2011-03-11 when I believe this page has been around for quite some time. --Rdm 13:03, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
