Least Common Multiple of 3001 and 3018 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 3018, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(3001,3018) = 1
LCM(3001,3018) = ( 3001 × 3018) / 1
LCM(3001,3018) = 9057018 / 1
LCM(3001,3018) = 9057018
