Least Common Multiple of 1018 and 1031 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 1018 and 1031, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(1018,1031) = 1
LCM(1018,1031) = ( 1018 × 1031) / 1
LCM(1018,1031) = 1049558 / 1
LCM(1018,1031) = 1049558
