Question

How do you find the least common multiple (LCM) of 14 and 7?

Answer 1

`14` is the LCM.

Explanation:

If we have to find LCM of two numbers, the smaller of which is a factor of bigger number or alternatively bigger number is a multiple of smaller number,

then bigger number is the LCM of the two numbers.

Here as `7` is a factor of `14` or `14` is a multiple of `7`, hence

`14` is the LCM.

Note : Smaller number in such cases will be the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).
