lcm seems to work correctly on RR and QQ:
sage: R.<s> = PolynomialRing(RR); R
Univariate Polynomial Ring in s over Real Field with 53 bits of precision
sage: lcm([(s+5)**2, s])
s^3 + 10.0000000000000*s^2 + 25.0000000000000*s
sage: R.<s> = PolynomialRing(QQ); R
Univariate Polynomial Ring in s over Rational Field
sage: lcm([(s+5)**2, s])
s^3 + 10*s^2 + 25*sBut gcd works on RDF but not on RR:
sage: R.<s> = PolynomialRing(RDF); R
Univariate Polynomial Ring in s over Real Double Field
sage: gcd([(s+5)**2, s])
1.0
sage: R.<s> = PolynomialRing(RR); R
Univariate Polynomial Ring in s over Real Field with 53 bits of precision
sage: gcd([(s+5)**2, s])
TypeError: 'MinusInfinity' object cannot be interpreted as an indexThis looks weird. If your polynomials have rational (or integers) coefficients, you can use QQ instead of RDF.
