writing a program (using java) that is suppose to find the lowest integer that can be evenly divided by a range (ex. 1-25). I need help fixing/debugging it so it comes up with the proper output. this is the part of my code that does the calculations

 

void main(String[] args){

int num = lowest(1,25);

System.out.println("The smallest divisible number is" + num);

}

public static int lowest(int lower_limit, int upper_limit){

boolean find = false;

int L = upper_limit;

while (find) {

boolean yes = true;

for (int j=lower_limit; j<= upper_limit; j++) {

if (j/L != (L/j ))

break;

yes = false;

}

if (yes){

find = true;

}

else{

L++;

}

}

 

return L;

}

}
