Program to find the LCM of two prime numbers

Given two prime numbers N and M, the task is to find the Least Common Multiple(LCM) of the two given prime numbers.
Examples:

Input: N = 3, M = 7 
Output: 21 
Explanation:
The least numbers greater than equals to 3 and 7 which is a multiple of 3 and 7 is 21.

Input: N = 5, M = 5 
Output: 5 
Explanation:
The least numbers greater than equals to 5 and 5 which is a multiple of 5 and 5 is 5. 

Approach: As we know that product of two numbers equals to the product of their Greatest Common Divisor(GCD) and Least Common Multiple(LCM). So, the LCM of the two given prime numbers can be given by: .
Since the GCD two different prime numbers are 1, Therefore , and if the two given numbers are same then the LCM is the number itself.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++

// C++ Program to find LCM of two
// prime numbers
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to return the LCM of two
// prime numbers
int findLCMPrime(int a, int b)
{
    // If the two numbers are equal
    // then return any one of a and b
    if (a == b) {
        return a;
    }

    // Else return product of numbers
    return a * b;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    // Given two numbers
    int a = 3, b = 5;

    // Function Call
    cout << findLCMPrime(a, b);
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java Program to find LCM of two
// prime numbers
class GFG{

// Function to return the LCM of two
// prime numbers
static int findLCMPrime(int a, int b)
{
    // If the two numbers are equal
    // then return any one of a and b
    if (a == b)
    {
        return a;
    }

    // Else return product of numbers
    return a * b;
}

// Driver code
public static void main (String[] args)
{
    // Given two numbers
    int a = 3, b = 5;

    // Function Call
    System.out.println(findLCMPrime(a, b));
}
}
