ANSWER


LCM= {2}^(2) * {3}^(2) * 5 * 7


EXPLANATION

The prime factorization of the two numbers are

{2}^(2) * 3 * 5
and


2 * {3}^(2) * 7
To find the least common multiple , we collect the factors with the powers and multiply them out.



The highest power of 2 is

{2}^(2)

The highest power of 3 is

{3}^(2)

The highest power of 5 is

5


and the highest power of 7 is

7

Therefore


LCM= {2}^(2) * {3}^(2) * 5 * 7
