Least Common Multiple of 1006 and 1020 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 1006 and 1020, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(1006,1020) = 2
LCM(1006,1020) = ( 1006 × 1020) / 2
LCM(1006,1020) = 1026120 / 2
LCM(1006,1020) = 513060

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 1006 and 1020 with Primes
