6.1.11  The least common multiple According to Wikipedia ("Least common multiple", 27-Aug-2020, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple): "In arithmetic and number theory, the least common multiple, lowest common multiple, or smallest common multiple of two integers a and b, usually denoted by lcm(a, b), is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both a and b. Since division of integers by zero is undefined, this definition has meaning only if a and b are both different from zero. However, some authors define lcm(a,0) as 0 for all a, which is the result of taking the lcm to be the least upper bound in the lattice of divisibility. ... The lcm of more than two integers is also well-defined: it is the smallest positive integer hat is divisible by each of them." In this section, an operation calculating the least common multiple of two integers (df-lcm 16567) as well as a function mapping a set of integers to their least common multiple (df-lcmf 16568) are provided. Both definitions are valid for all integers, including negative integers and 0, obeying the above mentioned convention. It is shown by lcmfpr 16604 that the two definitions are compatible.

Theorem	lcmgcd 16584	The product of two numbers' least common multiple and greatest common divisor is the absolute value of the product of the two numbers. In particular, that absolute value is the least common multiple of two coprime numbers, for which (𝑀 gcd 𝑁) = 1. Multiple methods exist for proving this, and it is often proven either as a consequence of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic 1arith 16905 or of Bézout's identity bezout 16520; see e.g., https://proofwiki.org/wiki/Product_of_GCD_and_LCM 16520 and https://math.stackexchange.com/a/470827 16520. This proof uses the latter to first confirm it for positive integers 𝑀 and 𝑁 (the "Second Proof" in the above Stack Exchange page), then shows that implies it for all nonzero integer inputs, then finally uses lcm0val 16571 to show it applies when either or both inputs are zero.
