step 1 Address the input parameters, values and observe what to be found:
Input parameters and values:
Integers: 65 and 101
What to be found:
lcm (65, 101) = ?
step 2 Arrange the given integers in the horizontal form with space or comma separated format:
65 and 101
step 3 Choose the divisor which divides each or most of the given integers (65 and 101), divide each integers separately and write down the quotient in the next line right under the respective integers. Bring down the integer to the next line if any integer in 65 and 101 is not divisible by the selected divisor; repeat the same process until all the integers are brought to 1 as like below:
| 5 | 65 | 101 |
| 13 | 13 | 101 |
| 101 | 1 | 101 |
| 1 | 1 |
