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.
