The least common multiple (LCM) function returns the

smallest number that two positive whole numbers can divide

into evenly, of two positive whole numbers or lists of positive

whole numbers. If both arguments are lists, they must have the

same number of elements. If one argument is a list and the

other a non-list, the non-list is paired with each element of the

list, and a list is returned.
