This is a lcm finding program.
please tell me if there are any bugs in this program and tell me how u liked my idea.

Its just too perfect. Don't you think the same.

REly.......

thanxxxxxxxxxx...........

The code is fine but you can write a function for checking if the number is prime or not that would make your code smaller.

kk sir thanx and will look forward abt it while writing the code next time.

thanx..

Better to set a flag to 1 or 0 than to use some mystical value 14296 - reviewers will be thinking "what's the significance of 14296?"

It would be better to use meaningful variable names than single letters. Suppose I give you the formula a=b*c^d - could you tell me what that means?
