Given Numbers: 42, 49
Identify the Prime Factors of 42 and 49 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 42: 42 = 2 x 3 x 7 = 21 x 31 x 71
Prime Factorization of 49: 49 = 7 x 7 = 72
Prime Factors of 42 and 49 (collectively): 2, 3 and 7
Least Common Multiple of 42 and 49 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(42, 49) = 21 x 31 x 72
LCM(42, 49) = 2 x 3 x 49
LCM(42, 49) = 294
Least Common Multiple of 42 and 49 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
