1, 41, 61, 2501
The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 2500 and 2501, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(2500,2501) = 1
LCM(2500,2501) = ( 2500 × 2501) / 1
LCM(2500,2501) = 6252500 / 1
LCM(2500,2501) = 6252500
(i) The LCM of 2501 and 2500 is associative
