What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 14 and 9?

Answer

LCM of 14 and 9 is
126

First common multiples: 126, 252, 378, …

126 is divisible by both: 126 ÷ 14 = 9, 126 ÷ 9 = 14 — and 9 and 14 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/14 by 9 and of y/9 by 14.

14 and 9 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 14 × 9 = 126.

14 = 2 × 7

9 = 32

— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.

LCM = 2 × 32 × 7 = 126
