Answer 1

The lowest common multiple is `172`. See explanation.

Explanation:

The lowest common multiple of `a` and `b` can be calculated as:

`lcm(a,b)=(axxb)/(gcd(a,b))`

From this formula we see that the greatest common multiple is a quotient of the numbers' product and their greatest conmmon divisor.

In our example one of the numbers `43` is prome, so their common divisor is 1. Therfore the multiple is equal to their product:

`lcm(4,43)=4xx43=172`
