There is math.gcd(): https://docs.python.org/dev/library/math.html#math.gcd You can use numpy.lcm(): https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.15.0/reference/generated/numpy.lcm.html Is it common to need lcm()? Do you have examples of applications which need lcm()? It's trivial to implement lcm(): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51716916/built-in-module-to-calculate-least-common-multiple I suggest to reject this feature request, since I never needed lcm() in 10 years of Python, whereas I use gcd() time to time. ---------- nosy: +lemburg, mark.dickinson, rhettinger, stutzbach, vstinner title: can we add a lcm and gcd function. -> [RFE] Add math.lcm() function: Least Common Multiple versions: +Python 3.9 -Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39479> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
