17 is prime, so 17^1 is the exponential representation of the factorization.
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.
24 x 17 = 272
5 x 17 = 85
It is: 7*17 = 119 and needs no exponents
