:Does lcm(x,y) = lcm(-x,y) = lcm(-x,-y)? If so then you could just change the sign on the arguments and use the fractional method. I'm pretty sure it works for positive numbers. The fractional method wouldn't work for fractional arguments, though (ex: lcm(1/3, 1/6) = 1/3 = 1 * 1/3 = 2 * 1/6). For those you would nee to use the "iteration over multiples" method I believe. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 14:53, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
