Problem
Return the least common multiple of a and b, the smallest positive number that both divide. lcm(a, b) = a / gcd(a, b) × b.
Implement lcm(a, b).
Input
a: The first positive number. b: The second positive number.
Output
Return lcm(a, b).
Constraints
1 ≤ a, b ≤ 1,000,000,000
Examples
Example 1
Input:
a = 4
b = 6
Expected output:
expected = 12
Input:
long long a = 4;
long long b = 6;
Expected output:
long long expected = 12;
Input:
long a = 4;
long b = 6;
Expected output:
long expected = 12;
Explanation
Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12…; multiples of 6: 6, 12…; the first common one is 12.
Example 2
Input:
a = 7
b = 7
Expected output:
expected = 7
Input:
long long a = 7;
long long b = 7;
Expected output:
long long expected = 7;
Input:
long a = 7;
long b = 7;
Expected output:
long expected = 7;
Explanation
A number's LCM with itself is the number: 7.
