LCM for 14 and 17

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 14 and 17?

Answer: LCM of 14 and 17 is 238

(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
