To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 34 and 42, we first need to find the prime factorization of each number. The prime factorization of 34 is 2 x 17, and the prime factorization of 42 is 2 x 3 x 7. The LCM is the product of the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either factorization, so the LCM of 34 and 42 is 2 x 3 x 7 x 17, which equals 714.
