// C program to find LCM of two numbers
|
|
/*
|
|
suppose we have two numbers a and b.
|
|
Property: Since product of LCM and GCD of two numbers are equal to product
|
|
of that number itself. i.e, LCM(a,b)*GCD(a,b)=a*b. So,here we first find the
|
|
GCD of two numbers and using above property we find LCM of that two numbers.
