Question

What is the least common multiple of 28 and 37?

Answer 1

`1036`

Explanation:

You first have to factor each number into its prime factors:

`28=2^2*7`
`37=37`

Since all of the factors are different, you have to multiply them together based on the ones with the highest exponent:

`lcm=2^2*7*37=1036`

The lowest common multiple is `1036`.
