  2. Least common multiple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple

    A least common multiple of a and b is a common multiple that is minimal, in the sense that for any other common multiple n of a and b, m divides n. In general, two elements in a commutative ring can have no least common multiple or more than one. However, any two least common multiples of the same pair of elements are associates. [10]

    In the common case where m is a power of 2 and a ≡ 5 (mod 8) (a desirable property for other reasons), it is always possible to find an initial value X 0 so that the denominator X 1 − X 0 ≡ ±1 (mod m), producing an even simpler relationship.

    [14] and whose period is the least common multiple of the component periods. Although the periods will share a common divisor of 2, the moduli can be chosen so that is the only common divisor and the resultant period is (m 1 − 1)(m 2 − 1)···(m k − 1)/2 k−1.

    The generator polynomial of the BCH code is defined as the least common multiple g(x) = lcm(m 1 (x),…,m d − 1 (x)). It can be seen that g(x) is a polynomial with coefficients in GF(q) and divides x n − 1. Therefore, the polynomial code defined by g(x) is a cyclic code.

    Equivalently, g(n) is the largest least common multiple (lcm) of any partition of n, or the maximum number of times a permutation of n elements can be recursively applied to itself before it returns to its starting sequence. For instance, 5 = 2 + 3 and lcm(2,3) = 6. No other partition of 5 yields a bigger lcm, so g(5) = 6.
