Least Common Multiple of 101 and 117 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 101 and 117, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(101,117) = 1
LCM(101,117) = ( 101 × 117) / 1
LCM(101,117) = 11817 / 1
LCM(101,117) = 11817

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 101 and 117 with Primes
