The lcm function calculates the least common multiple of two integers x and y. It returns the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both x and y.

Here are some common examples of using the lcm function:

Calculate the LCM of two numbers:
```
julia> lcm(4, 6)
12
```
This example calculates the LCM of 4 and 6, which is 12.
Find the LCM of two different numbers:
```
julia> lcm(15, 20)
60
```
It calculates the LCM of 15 and 20, resulting in 60.
Compute the LCM of prime numbers:
```
julia> lcm(7, 11)
77
```
In this example, the LCM of 7 and 11 is calculated, resulting in 77.
