The least common multiple is the product of all factors in the greatest number of their occurrence.

The prime factors of 4 are 2 and 2.

The prime factor 29 occurs one time.

Therefore:


\begin{gathered} LCM=2\cdot2\cdot29 \\ \text{LCM=4}\cdot29 \\ LCM=116 \end{gathered}

The least common multiple of 29 and 4 is 116.

Answer: 116
