How to find the least common multiple by short division

Two numbers are neither coprime relations nor multiple relations. First, we use the common prime factors of the two numbers to remove them continuously (generally starting from the smallest) until the quotient is coprime. Then we multiply all divisors and the last two quotients

How to find the least common multiple of 20 15 30?
