The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 338,3042 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(338,3042) = 338
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(338,3042) x common factors =338 x 1 = 338
LCM(338,3042) = ( 338 × 3042 ) / 338
LCM(338,3042) = 1028196 / 338
LCM(338,3042) = 3042
