LCM for 2 and 14
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2 and 14?
(Fourteen)
Finding LCM for 2 and 14 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 2 and 14 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 2 and 14 is 2, so
LCM = (2 × 14) ÷ 2
LCM = 28 ÷ 2
LCM = 14
Finding LCM for 2 and 14 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 2 and 14 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18
Multiples of 14: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98, 112, 126, [...], 14
So the LCM for 2 and 14 is 14
Finding LCM for 2 and 14 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 2 and 14 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 2: 2 (exponent form: 21)
All Prime Factors of 14: 2, 7 (exponent form: 21, 71)
21 × 71 = 14
