xarray.ufuncs.lcm

xarray.ufuncs.lcm = <xarray.ufuncs._binary_ufunc object>

xarray specific variant of numpy.lcm(). Handles xarray objects by dispatching to the appropriate function for the underlying array type.

Documentation from numpy:

Returns the lowest common multiple of |x1| and |x2|

Parameters

x1, x2 (array_like, int) – Arrays of values. If x1.shape != x2.shape, they must be broadcastable to a common shape (which becomes the shape of the output).

Returns

y (ndarray or scalar) – The lowest common multiple of the absolute value of the inputs This is a scalar if both x1 and x2 are scalars.

The greatest common divisor

Examples

>>> np.lcm(12, 20)
60
>>> np.lcm.reduce([3, 12, 20])
60
>>> np.lcm.reduce([40, 12, 20])
120
>>> np.lcm(np.arange(6), 20)
array([ 0, 20, 20, 60, 20, 20])
