Least Common Multiple of 1003 and 1008 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 1003 and 1008, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(1003,1008) = 1
LCM(1003,1008) = ( 1003 × 1008) / 1
LCM(1003,1008) = 1011024 / 1
LCM(1003,1008) = 1011024

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 1003 and 1008 with Primes
