To find the least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers, such as 42 and 49, you can use the prime factorization method or the division method.
Prime factorization method:
- Prime factorize both numbers:
- For 42: 2 × 3 × 7
- For 49: 7 × 7
- Take the highest power of each prime factor:
- 2 × 3 × 7 × 7 = 294
- So, the LCM of 42 and 49 is 294.
Division method:
- Start by dividing one number (42) by the other number (49).
- 49 divides 42 zero times with a remainder of 42.
- Then, divide the divisor (49) by the remainder (42).
- 42 divides 49 once with a remainder of 7.
- Divide the new remainder (7) by the previous remainder (42).
- 7 divides 42 six times with a remainder of 0.
- The quotient from Step 3 is the LCM of 42 and 49.
- The quotient is 6.
- Multiply the quotient by the divisor (49) to get the LCM.
- 6 × 49 = 294.
- So, the LCM of 42 and 49 is 294.
Therefore, the LCM of 42 and 49 is 294.
