What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 196 and 294?

Answer

LCM of 196 and 294 is
588

(Five hundred eighty-eight)

Finding LCM for 196 and 294 using GCF of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 196 and 294 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 196 and 294 is 98, so

LCM = (196 × 294) ÷ 98

LCM = 57,624 ÷ 98

LCM = 588

Finding LCM for 196 and 294 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 196 and 294 is to list out the common multiples for both numbers and pick the first one that matches:

Multiples of 196: 196, 392, 588, 784, 980

Multiples of 294: 294, 588, 882, 1176

So the LCM for 196 and 294 is 588

Finding LCM for 196 and 294 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 196 and 294 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 196: 2, 2, 7, 7 (exponent form: 22, 72)

All Prime Factors of 294: 2, 3, 7, 7 (exponent form: 21, 31, 72)

22 × 72 × 31 = 588
