Problem

Operation

Determine the greatest common divisors of {4, 3},
{12, 6}, and {36, 9}.

[iGcd]

{ 4 , 3 },{ 12 , 6 },{ 36

, 9 })w

u “iLcm” Function

Syntax: iLcm(Exp-1, Exp-2[, Exp-3…Exp-10)]

(Exp-1 through Exp-10 all are integers.)
iLcm(List-1, List-2[, List-3…List-10)]
(All elements of List-1 through List-10 are integers.)

Function:

• The first syntax above returns the least common multiple for two to ten integers.

• The second syntax returns, in list format, the least common multiple (LCM) for each of the elements in two to

ten lists. When the arguments are {

a

,

b

}, {

c

,

d

}, for example, a list will be returned showing the LCM for

a

and

c

,

and for

b

and

d

.

Description:

• All of the lists must have the same number of elements.

• When using the “iLcm(List-1, List-2[, List-3…List-10)]” syntax, one (and only one) expression (Exp) can be

include as an argument in place of a list.

Problem

Operation

Determine the least common multiples of {4, 3},
{12, 6}, and {36, 9}.

[iLcm]

{ 4 , 3 },{ 12 , 6 },{ 36

, 9 })w

u “iMod” Function

Syntax: iMod(Exp-1/List-1, Exp-2/List-2[)]

Function:

• This function divides one or more integers by one or more other integers and returns the remainder(s).

Description:

• Exp-1 and Exp-2, and all of the elements of List-1 and List-2 must be integers.

• You can use Exp for one argument and List for the other argument (Exp, List or List, Exp) if you want.

• If both arguments are lists, both lists must have the same number of elements.

Problem

Operation

Divide 21 by 6 and 7, and determine the remainder
of both operations. (iMod(21, {6, 7})
