The determination of the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of a pair of numbers can be accomplished by utilizing the Greatest Common Factor (GCF). The mathematical formula for this is LCM(a, b) = |a*b| / GCF(a, b). The initial step involves identifying the GCF of the numbers. Following this, multiply the numbers and divide the product by the GCF. The resulting number is the LCM.
