Least Common Multiple of 12000 and 12013 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 12000 and 12013, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(12000,12013) = 1
LCM(12000,12013) = ( 12000 × 12013) / 1
LCM(12000,12013) = 144156000 / 1
LCM(12000,12013) = 144156000

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12000 and 12013 with Primes
