Here's an implementation of a function called lcmOfList
that takes in a slice of integers and returns the least common multiple of all the integers in the slice:
main.go556 chars33 lines
The lcmOfList
function recursively calculates the LCM of the numbers in the slice. It does this by first checking if there are only two numbers left in the slice, and if so, it uses the lcm
function to find their LCM. If there are more than two numbers, it calls lcm
on the first two numbers in the slice and the LCM of the rest of the numbers in the slice (recursively). The lcm
function uses the formula LCM(a, b) = abs(a * b) / GCD(a, b)
to calculate the LCM of two numbers, and the gcd
function calculates the GCD of two numbers using the Euclidean algorithm.
