For example, 10 is a multiple of 5 because 5 × 2 = 10, so 10 is divisible by 5 and 2. Because 10 is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both 5 and 2, it is the least common multiple of 5 and 2. By the same principle, 10 is the least common multiple of −5 and −2 as well.
m and n are coprime (also called relatively prime) if gcd(m, n) = 1 (meaning they have no common prime factor). lcm(m, n) (least common multiple of m and n) is the product of all prime factors of m or n (with the largest multiplicity for m or n). gcd(m, n) × lcm(m, n) = m × n. Finding the prime factors is often harder than computing gcd and ...
Here, 36 is the least common multiple of 12 and 18. Their product, 216, is also a common denominator, but calculating with that denominator involves larger numbers:
Multiplication table from 1 to 10 drawn to scale with the upper-right half labeled with prime factorisations In mathematics , a multiplication table (sometimes, less formally, a times table ) is a mathematical table used to define a multiplication operation for an algebraic system.
The first table details World Championship Grand Prix results for the McLaren Formula One team. The second table includes results from privately owned McLaren cars in ...
The exponent of the group, that is, the least common multiple of the orders in the cyclic groups, is given by the Carmichael function (sequence A002322 in the OEIS). In other words, λ ( n ) {\displaystyle \lambda (n)} is the smallest number such that for each a coprime to n , a λ ( n ) ≡ 1 ( mod n ) {\displaystyle a^{\lambda (n)}\equiv 1 ...

The Lehmer random number generator [1] (named after D. H. Lehmer), sometimes also referred to as the Park–Miller random number generator (after Stephen K. Park and Keith W. Miller), is a type of linear congruential generator (LCG) that operates in multiplicative group of integers modulo n. The general formula is
