LCM for 14 and 17
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 14 and 17?
(Two hundred thirty-eight)
Finding LCM for 14 and 17 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 14 and 17 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 14 and 17 is 1, so
LCM = (14 × 17) ÷ 1
LCM = 238 ÷ 1
LCM = 238
Finding LCM for 14 and 17 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 14 and 17 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, 154, 168, 182, 196, 210, 224, 238, 252, 266
Multiples of 17: 17, 34, 51, 68, 85, 102, 119, 136, 153, 170, 187, 204, 221, 238, 255, 272
So the LCM for 14 and 17 is 238
Finding LCM for 14 and 17 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 14 and 17 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 17: 17 (exponent form: 171)
21 × 71 × 171 = 238
