Parameters

TermDefinition
number1, number2,...Number1 is required, subsequent numbers are optional. 1 to 255 values for which you want the least common multiple. If value is not an integer, it is truncated.

Returns the least common multiple of integers.

If any argument is nonnumeric, LCM returns the #VALUE! error value.

If any argument is less than zero, LCM returns the #NUM! error value.

If LCM(a,b) >=2^53, LCM returns the #NUM! error value.
