Explanation:
We're looking for Common Multiples - numbers that list both 2 and 7 as factors.

We can now multiply 14 by any number and get another common multiple of 2 and 7. For instance, if we multiply by 10, we get:
In order to arrive at 140, we need both a 2 and 7 in the factor tree, making them common factors.
