To find the least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers, you need to first find their prime factorizations. The prime factorization of 196 is 2^2 * 7^2 and the prime factorization of 294 is 2 * 3 * 7 * 7. To find the LCM, you need to take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either number, which gives you 2^2 * 3 * 7^2 = 588. Therefore, the least common multiple of 196 and 294 is 588.
Prime factors are factors that are also prime numbers.
