PolynomialLCM

PolynomialLCM[poly₁, poly₂, ...]
gives the least common multiple of the polynomials poly_i.

PolynomialLCM[poly₁, poly₂, ..., Modulus->p]
evaluates the LCM modulo the prime p.

MORE INFORMATION

PolynomialLCM[poly₁, poly₂, ...] will by default treat algebraic numbers that appear in the poly_i as independent variables.

PolynomialLCM[poly₁, poly₂, ..., Extension->Automatic] extends the coefficient field to include algebraic numbers that appear in the poly_i.
