Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple) suggests:

Since division of integers by zero is undefined, this definition has meaning
only if a and b are both different from zero. However, some authors define
lcm(a,0) as 0 for all a, which is the result of taking the lcm to be the least
upper bound in the lattice of divisibility.
