Find The LCM of the number 126 and 148
To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 126 and 148, we can use the prime factorization method.
Prime factorization of 126:
126 = 2 * 3^2 * 7
Prime factorization of 148:
148 = 2^2 * 37
To find the LCM, we need to take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either number.
LCM = 2^2 * 3^2 * 7 * 37
LCM = 148 * 9 * 37
LCM = 492 * 37
LCM = 18204
Therefore, the LCM of 126 and 148 is 18204.
