writing a program that calculates the lcm code example
Example 1: best way to find lcm of a number python
def compute_lcm(x, y):
if x > y:
greater = x
else:
greater = y
while(True):
if((greater % x == 0) and (greater % y == 0)):
lcm = greater
break
greater += 1
return lcm
num1 = 54
num2 = 24
print("The L.C.M. is", compute_lcm(num1, num2))
Example 2: get the least common multiple (LCM) of two positive integers
def lcm(x, y):
if x > y:
z = x
else:
z = y
while(True):
if((z % x == 0) and (z % y == 0)):
lcm = z
break
z += 1
return lcm
print(lcm(4, 6))
print(lcm(15, 17))
