Find LCM using Python

 Find LCM using Python

In this example, we will create a program to find LCM of a number using Python. The program will ask the user to enter a number and then display the LCM of that number to the user. To understand this program you should have basic knowledge of - 

1. Defining a function
2. Conditional statement (if/else)
3. While loop

Code:

def calculate_lcm(x, y):  
    # selecting the greater number  
    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    
  
# taking input from users  
num1 = int(input("Enter first number: "))  
num2 = int(input("Enter second number: "))  
# printing the result for the users  
print("The L.C.M. of", num1,"and", num2,"is", calculate_lcm(num1, num2))
