LCM for 14 and 203
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 14 and 203?
(Four hundred six)
Finding LCM for 14 and 203 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 14 and 203 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 14 and 203 is 7, so
LCM = (14 × 203) ÷ 7
LCM = 2842 ÷ 7
LCM = 406
