Least Common Multiple of 2006 and 2021 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 2006 and 2021, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(2006,2021) = 1
LCM(2006,2021) = ( 2006 × 2021) / 1
LCM(2006,2021) = 4054126 / 1
LCM(2006,2021) = 4054126
