Least Common Multiple of 1002 and 1007 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 1002 and 1007, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(1002,1007) = 1
LCM(1002,1007) = ( 1002 × 1007) / 1
LCM(1002,1007) = 1009014 / 1
LCM(1002,1007) = 1009014

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 1002 and 1007 with Primes
