Given LP in standard form with $n$ variables and $m$ constraints. And given $(x_1,...,x_n)$ optimal solution that is bfs of some slack form.

How can I find the slack form in $O(n^2m)$?

I know that that the BFS contains at least $n$ zeros (and at most $m$ non-zeros). So I need to do some pivot steps from the initial slack form to get slack from in which all non-basic variables are the zero ones. Every pivot steps take $O(nm)$, but how can I know that $n$ pivot steps will be enough?

Thank you
