Answer:

4200

Explanation:

The least common multiple (LCM) is the product of the unique factors of the numbers:

600 = 4 × 150

1050 = 7 × 150

LCM(600, 1050) = 4×150×7 = 4200

_____

The above factoring may also help you see that the LCM is also the product divided by the greatest common factor:

LCM(600, 1050) = 600 × 1050 / GCF(600, 1050)

= 600 × 1050 / 150

= 4200
