Answer: LCM of 14 and 16 is 112

(One hundred twelve)

Finding LCM for 14 and 16 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 14 and 16 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 14 and 16 is 2, so

LCM = (14 × 16) ÷ 2

LCM = 224 ÷ 2

LCM = 112

Finding LCM for 14 and 16 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 14 and 16 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 14: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98, 112, 126, 140

Multiples of 16: 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144

So the LCM for 14 and 16 is 112

Finding LCM for 14 and 16 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 14 and 16 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 14: 2, 7 (exponent form: 21, 71)

All Prime Factors of 16: 2, 2, 2, 2 (exponent form: 24)

24 × 71 = 112
