Answer:

930

Explanation:

To use the division method

Write the given numbers in a horizontal row separated by commas.

Divide them by a suitable prime number

Place the quotient under the numbers in the next row. If a number is not divided exactly then bring it down to the next row.

Repeat the process until only co prime numbers are left in the last row.

Multiply all the prime numbers used as divisors.

The product is the LCM

Given 30 and 62, then

2 | 30, 62

3 | 15, 31

5 | 5, 31

31 | 1, 31

| 1, 1 ← co primes left

Hence LCM = 2 × 3 × 5 × 31 = 930
