+/* This is the "lcm" function, accepting two inputs which are the array of integers
+    and second the size of the array. The algorithm works like this:
+    We take a temproary variable and store the lcm of the first two elements of the
+    array in it. Now using this temproary variable we recursively fin the lcm of
+    the whole array.
+    Now to fin the lcm of two elements we fin the maximum of the two elements and
+    check whether it is divisible by both the elements, if the condition is true we
+    get the lcm, else increase the maximum value by itself unless we get the lcm.
