Least Common Multiple of 3001 and 3006 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 3001 and 3006, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(3001,3006) = 1
LCM(3001,3006) = ( 3001 × 3006) / 1
LCM(3001,3006) = 9021006 / 1
LCM(3001,3006) = 9021006

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 3001 and 3006 with Primes
