One method for determining the LCM of 349 and 356 is to compare the prime factorization of each number. You can find the prime factorization for each number by following the instructions below:

Here is 349's prime factorization:

Prime factors of 349 are 349.

349 = 349¹

And this is 356's prime factorization:

Prime factors of 356 are 2,89.

356 = 2²×89¹

When comparing the prime factorization of these two numbers, look for the highest power to which each prime factor is raised. In this case, the following primary factors must be considered:349, 2,89

2²×89¹×349¹ = 124244

This shows that the LCM of 349 and 356 is 124244.

The first step in determining the Least Common Multiple of 349 and 356 is to generate a list of multiples for each number.

Lets look at the multiples of these two numbers, 349 and 356:

Lets look at the first ten multiples of these numbers, 349 and 356:

349,698,1047,1396,1745,2094,2443,2792,3141,5933 are the first ten multiples of 349.

356,712,1068,1424,1780,2136,2492,2848,3204,6052 are the first ten multiples of 356.

You can continue to list the multiples of these numbers until you find a match. Once you have found a match, or several matches, the Least Common Multiple is the smallest of these matches. The first matching multiple(s) of 349 and 356, for example, are 4188, 5933, and 5696. 124244 is the least common multiple since it is the smallest.

349 and 356 have an LCM of 124244.

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 349 and 356, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(349,356) = 1
LCM(349,356) = ( 349 × 356) / 1
LCM(349,356) = 124244 / 1
LCM(349,356) = 124244
