Let R be an integral domain. It is proved that if a nonzero ideal I of R can be generated by n < ∞ elements, then I is invertible (i.e., flat) if and only if I(∩ Rai) = ∩ Iai for all { a1, . . ., a n} ⊂ I. The article's main focus is on torsion-free R-modules E which are LCM-stable in the sense that E(Ra ∩ Rb) = Ea ∩ Eb for all a, b ∈ R. By means of linear relations, LCM-stableness is shown to be equivalent to a weak aspect of flatness. Consequently, if each finitely generated ideal of R may be 2-generated, then each LCM-stable R-module is flat. Finally, LCM-stableness of maximal ideals serves to characterize Prüfer domains, Dedekind domains, principal ideal domains, and Bézout domains amongst suitably larger classes of integral domains.
