[issue19237] Proposal : LCM function to complement GCD

[CliffM]

New submission from CliffM:

While implementing a Least-Common-Multiple function (LCM), I noticed that although python has a Greatest-Common-Divisor (GCD) function in the fractions module, the LCM, its counterpart is not there.

I've attached a patch which implements and tests LCM in the fractions module. 

It would really need documentation, but maybe GCD and LCD should be moved to the math module first ?
