Least Common Multiple of 2017 and 2028 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 2017 and 2028, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(2017,2028) = 1
LCM(2017,2028) = ( 2017 × 2028) / 1
LCM(2017,2028) = 4090476 / 1
LCM(2017,2028) = 4090476

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2017 and 2028 with Primes
