Least Common Multiple of 5000 and 5017 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 5000 and 5017, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(5000,5017) = 1
LCM(5000,5017) = ( 5000 × 5017) / 1
LCM(5000,5017) = 25085000 / 1
LCM(5000,5017) = 25085000

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 5000 and 5017 with Primes
