Given numbers are 242,1706

The least common multiple of numbers can be find using the prime factorization method or LCM formula.

The LCM of 242,1706 is 206426.

Find LCM of 242,1706 with Prime Factorization

Multiply the prime numbers at the bottom and the left side.

2 x 121 x 853 = 206426

Therefore, the lowest common multiple of 242,1706 is 206426.

LCM formula is LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

Firstly, we have to find the product of all the numbers.

242 x 1706 = 412852

Then, let us find the GCF of these five numbers. To do so, we have to list down the factors for each number and choose the highest factor that is in all of the lists.

242 : 1, 2, 11, 22, 121, 242

1706 : 1, 2, 853, 1706

2 is the greatest number that appears in all the lists. Therefore, we can determine that the GCF of 242,1706, is 2.

Now, the common factors can be found like this.

242:2x 11x 11

1706:2x 853

From this, we can see that the common factors because they appear for more than two numbers. So, just multiply them all together.

= 1

Therefore, the value for common factors is 1.

Now that we have all the elements of the formula, we can plug them in to calculate the LCM.

LCM(a1, a2, an) = (a1 x a2 x an)/{GCF(a1 x a2 x an) x common factors}

LCM = 412852/(2x1)

LCM = 412852/2

LCM = 206426

Thus, we can understand that the LCM of 242,1706 is 206426.
