LCM is Listable so it requires a Sequence not a List
myList = { 2, 3, 4, 5 };
LCM[Sequence@@myList]
60

What's the syntax to specify that?
For example:
If I have myList = { 2, 3, 4, 5 }
I'd like to do something like LCM[myList] and get 60.
but that actually returns { 2, 3, 4, 5 } (I guess performing LCM on
each element individually).
How can I get LCM to act on a bunch of values at once?
