Finding LCM for 8 and 14 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 8 and 14 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 8 and 14 is 2, so

LCM = (8 × 14) ÷ 2

LCM = 112 ÷ 2

LCM = 56

Finding LCM for 8 and 14 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 8 and 14 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72

Multiples of 14: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84

So the LCM for 8 and 14 is 56

Finding LCM for 8 and 14 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 8 and 14 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 8: 2, 2, 2 (exponent form: 23)

All Prime Factors of 14: 2, 7 (exponent form: 21, 71)

23 × 71 = 56
