Verification

Legacy regression suite: 20/20 calculation tests · Production surface contract 5/5

Three distinct suites: educational examples on the calculator page, this legacy regression count (20/20 golden + boundary), and the CVP verification suite below. They are not the same number. Property, metamorphic, round-trip, O3, and interface statuses/checks are recorded in the CVP Manifest . SKIP (0/0) means that suite has no published vectors.

Production attestation GETs canonical URLs twice (public/cached view and origin), including Capability HTML, via npm run attest:production --write (published at /.well-known/calculatorx-production-attestation.json) and fails if the public Capability page advertises a different calculation_version. This is artifact consistency, not an independent immutable release log.

Assumptions

Integer inputs; negatives treated by absolute value.
If any input is 0, LCM = 0. LCM(0,0)=0 is a CalculatorX/Python convention, not a GCF-identity derivation.
For nonzero inputs the result is a positive integer.

Limitations

Integers only; negatives treated by absolute value
Each integer ≤ 48 decimal digits (product bound, not a mathematical bound)
If any input is 0, LCM = 0. LCM(0,0)=0 is a CalculatorX/Python convention (not a GCF-identity derivation)
Need at least two numbers → NEED_TWO_NUMBERS
Non-integers → INVALID_NUMBER
Integers beyond MAX_SAFE_INTEGER must be decimal strings in JSON

Sources

Standards and references supporting this tool specification. Methods are listed separately — they are algorithms, not bibliographic sources.

Encyclopedia of Mathematics — Least common multiple — Definition; pairwise fold; relation to GCD
Supports: LCM of n integers via pairwise fold; lcm(a,b)·gcd(a,b)=|ab| for nonzero a,b
Python math.lcm — zero convention — If any argument is zero, LCM = 0
Supports: Any zero argument → 0; LCM(0,0)=0 is that convention, not |a/GCF(a,b)×b| (GCF(0,0)=0)
CalculatorX integer convention — Absolute value; 48-digit BigInt domain; divide-first identity
Supports: Negatives by |n|; exact BigInt with a product digit cap; LCM(a,b)=|a/GCF(a,b)×b|
MIT Mathematics for Computer Science — Chapter 8: Number Theory — Chapter 8, including sections 8.2–8.9 and problem 8.24
Supports: Divisibility, prime factorization, gcd and the Euclidean algorithm, lcm via prime exponents, division with remainder, modular congruence and multiplicative inverses. CalculatorX’s signed-remainder and zero-input policies are stated separately on the page. Mathematical reference only; not validation or endorsement of this implementation.

Methods

Algorithms this engine uses. Not external references.

Pairwise GCF-identity fold (canonical engine; divide before multiply)
Prime-factor LCM (cross-check when every |n| ≤ 1,000,000 and none is 0)
Listing multiples (cross-check when LCM ≤ 5,000 and every |n| ≤ 500)

Aggregate outcomes, scope and artifact commitments are public. Complete test inputs, expected values, execution records and oracle infrastructure are retained privately. This summary does not independently reproduce the full verification run.
