Finding LCM for 42 and 70 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 42 and 70 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 42 and 70 is 14, so

LCM = (42 × 70) ÷ 14

LCM = 2940 ÷ 14

LCM = 210
