Least Common Multiple of 1005 and 1012 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 1005 and 1012, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(1005,1012) = 1
LCM(1005,1012) = ( 1005 × 1012) / 1
LCM(1005,1012) = 1017060 / 1
LCM(1005,1012) = 1017060

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 1005 and 1012 with Primes
