Calculate LCM of Two Numbers

❮ Previous Next ❯

A Python program to compute the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of two numbers using iteration.

Here’s a short explanation of your LCM (Least Common Multiple) program:

Define Function (calculate_lcm)
- Finds the maximum of the two numbers (greater = max(a, b)).
- Uses a while loop to check if greater is divisible by both numbers.
- If true, returns greater as LCM; otherwise, increments greater.
Take Input
- Accepts two integer inputs from the user.
Call Function & Print LCM
- Calls calculate_lcm(num1, num2).
- Prints the result.

Program:

def calculate_lcm(a, b):

    greater = max(a, b)

    while True:

        if greater % a == 0 and greater % b == 0:

            return greater

        greater += 1

num1 = int(input("Enter the first number: "))

num2 = int(input("Enter the second number: "))

lcm = calculate_lcm(num1, num2)

print("LCM of", num1, "and", num2, "is:", lcm)
