How to change icloud keychain phone number?

I'm trying to setup my keychain option but it is sending a code to a phone number but I don't have that phone number longer. How can I change the information of the old phone number?

Hi NaJath BoOm,

To change the phone number associated with your iCloud Keychain account, use the steps in this article - Get help using iCloud Keychain.

Specifically -

Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.

On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Sincerely.

Thank you so much for your reply. I followed as your instruction but there is no any option under the keychain neither on my iphone nor macbook. Because i think you are telling the method untill ios 9 and untill Mac OS 10.11 after this update there is no any option to change the phone number or verification number... Please kindly check it and reply ASAP. Thank you...
