Least Common Multiple of 2032 and 2036 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 2032 and 2036, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(2032,2036) = 4
LCM(2032,2036) = ( 2032 × 2036) / 4
LCM(2032,2036) = 4137152 / 4
LCM(2032,2036) = 1034288

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2032 and 2036 with Primes
