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 546,1820 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(546,1820) = 182
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(546,1820) x common factors =182 x 1 = 182
LCM(546,1820) = ( 546 × 1820 ) / 182
LCM(546,1820) = 993720 / 182
LCM(546,1820) = 5460
