MinMult (a, b); a integer, b integer vector.

Return:
an integer k, the minimum positive integer such that ka belongs to the semigroup generated by the integers in b.

Assume:
a is a positive integer, b is a positive integers vector.

Example:
 
LIB "cimonom.lib";
"int a = 46;";
==> int a = 46;
"intvec b = 13,17,59;";
==> intvec b = 13,17,59;
"MinMult(a,b);";
==> MinMult(a,b);
int a = 46;
intvec b = 13,17,59;
MinMult(a,b);
==> 3
"// 3*a = 8*b[1] + 2*b[2]"
