num2 = gets.chomp.to_i;  

if (num1 > num2) 
    x = num1;
    y = num2;
else 
    x = num2;
    y = num1;
end

rem = x % y;

while (rem != 0) 
    x = y;
    y = rem;
    rem = x % y;
end

lcm = num1 * num2 / y;

print "Lowest Common Multiple is: ",lcm;

Enter number1: 125
Enter number2: 10
Lowest Common Multiple is: 250
