Unlike other functions around, we will define lcm below instead of axiomatizing it. Indeed, there is no "prior art" about lcm in the standard library to be compliant with, and the generic definition of lcm via gcd is quite reasonable.
By the way, we also state here some combined properties of div/mod and gcd.

Divibility and modulo
Lemma mod_divide : forall a b, b~=0 -> (a mod b == 0 <-> (b|a)).
Lemma divide_div_mul_exact : forall a b c, b~=0 -> (b|a) ->
(c*a)/b == c*(a/b).
Gcd of divided elements, for exact divisions
Lemma gcd_div_factor : forall a b c, c~=0 -> (c|a) -> (c|b) ->
gcd (a/c) (b/c) == (gcd a b)/c.
Lemma gcd_div_gcd : forall a b g, g~=0 -> g == gcd a b ->
gcd (a/g) (b/g) == 1.
The following equality is crucial for Euclid algorithm
Lemma gcd_mod : forall a b, b~=0 -> gcd (a mod b) b == gcd b a.
We now define lcm thanks to gcd:
lcm a b = a * (b / gcd a b) = (a / gcd a b) * b = (a*b) / gcd a b
Nota: lcm 0 0 should be 0, which isn't garantee with the third equation above.
