Least Common Multiple of 2018 and 2032 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 2018 and 2032, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(2018,2032) = 2
LCM(2018,2032) = ( 2018 × 2032) / 2
LCM(2018,2032) = 4100576 / 2
LCM(2018,2032) = 2050288

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2018 and 2032 with Primes
