What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2, 14 and 32?

Answer

LCM of 2, 14 and 32 is
224

First common multiples: 224, 448, 672, …

224 is divisible by all three: 224 ÷ 2 = 112, 224 ÷ 14 = 16, 224 ÷ 32 = 7 — and 112, 16 and 7 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/2 by 112 and of y/14 by 16 and of z/32 by 7.

2 — prime

14 = 2 × 7
