How to Find LCM using Python?
LCM (Least common multiple) of two (or more) numbers is a number which is the smallest number that is divisible by both (or all).
First we find the larger number of two given numbers. Starting from it we try and find the first number that is divisible by both, which is LCM
Example
x=12
y=20
if x > y:
greater = x
else:
greater = y
while(True):
if((greater % x == 0) and (greater % y == 0)):
lcm = greater
break
greater += 1
print ("LCM of {} and {}={}".format(x,y,lcm))Output
The result is −
LCM of 12 and 20=60
