Least Common Multiple of 201 and 206 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 201 and 206, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(201,206) = 1
LCM(201,206) = ( 201 × 206) / 1
LCM(201,206) = 41406 / 1
LCM(201,206) = 41406

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 201 and 206 with Primes
