What is least common multiple of 168 and 252?

Answer 1

To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 168 and 252, we first need to find the prime factorization of each number. 168 = 2^3 * 3 * 7 and 252 = 2^2 * 3^2 * 7. To calculate the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either number, so LCM(168, 252) = 2^3 * 3^2 * 7 = 504. Therefore, the least common multiple of 168 and 252 is 504.

Answer 2

There is really no such thing as a "greatest common multiple". Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest multiple.
