write a function that takes one lists as a parameter. the function must calculate the lcm (lowest common multiple) of a list of given numbers. at the end, print the result. in matlab

Here's a MATLAB function that calculates the LCM of a list of numbers.

main.m
function result = lcm_list(list)

% Find the LCM of two numbers
function result = lcm(a, b)
    result = abs(a*b) / gcd(a,b);
end

result = 1;
for i = 1:length(list)
    result = lcm(result, list(i));
end

fprintf('LCM of the given list is: %d\n', result);

end

The lcm_list function takes a list of numbers as input and iteratively applies the lcm function to calculate the LCM of the entire list. At the end, it prints the result. Note that we are using the built-in MATLAB gcd function to find the greatest common divisor which is a helper function for calculating LCM.
