C program to find out L.C.M. of two numbers

LCM program in c with two numbers : 


#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
  int n1,n2,x,y;
  printf("\nEnter two numbers:");
  scanf("%d %d",&n1,&n2);
  x=n1,y=n2;
  while(n1!=n2){
      if(n1>n2)
           n1=n1-n2;
      else
      n2=n2-n1;
  }
  printf("L.C.M=%d",x*y/n1);
  return 0;
}
 
 
 
Definition of LCM (Least common multiple):

LCM of two integers is a smallest positive integer which is multiple of both integers that it is divisible by the both of the numbers.
For example: LCM of two integers 2 and 5 is 10 since 10 is the smallest positive numbers which is divisible by both 2 and 5.
