NumPy LCM Lowest Common Multiple


Finding LCM (Lowest Common Multiple)

The Lowest Common Multiple is the least number that is common multiple of both of the numbers.

Example

Find the LCM of the following two numbers:

import numpy as np

num1 = 4
num2 = 6

x = np.lcm(num1, num2)

print(x)

Returns: 12 because that is the lowest common multiple of both numbers (4*3=12 and 6*2=12).


Finding LCM in Arrays

To find the Lowest Common Multiple of all values in an array, you can use the reduce() method.

The reduce() method will use the ufunc, in this case the lcm() function, on each element, and reduce the array by one dimension.

Example

Find the LCM of the values of the following array:

import numpy as np

arr = np.array([3, 6, 9])

x = np.lcm.reduce(arr)

print(x)
Try it Yourself »

Returns: 18 because that is the lowest common multiple of all three numbers (3*6=18, 6*3=18 and 9*2=18).

Example

Find the LCM of all of an array where the array contains all integers from 1 to 10:

import numpy as np

arr = np.arange(1, 11)

x = np.lcm.reduce(arr)

print(x)
