lcm(PythonObject,PythonObject) -- least common multiple of Python objects

Description

This computes the least common multiple of two Python objects.

i1 : lcm(toPython 12, toPython 15)

o1 = 60

o1 : PythonObject of class int

If one of the arguments is a Macaulay2 object, then it is first converted to a Python object.

i2 : lcm(toPython 12, 15)

o2 = 60

o2 : PythonObject of class int
 
i3 : lcm(12, toPython 15)

o3 = 60

o3 : PythonObject of class int

Since lcm is a binary method, it will accept any number of arguments.

i4 : lcm toPython 5

o4 = 5

o4 : PythonObject of class int
 
i5 : lcm (toPython 7, toPython 14, 28)

o5 = 28

o5 : PythonObject of class int
