What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 14 and 49?

Answer

LCM of 14 and 49 is
98

First common multiples: 98, 196, 294, …

98 is divisible by both: 98 ÷ 14 = 7, 98 ÷ 49 = 2 — and 7 and 2 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/14 by 7 and of y/49 by 2.

14 = 2 × 7

49 = 72
