Least Common Multiple of 14 and 29 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b).
We need to calculate greatest common factor 14 and 29, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(14,29) = 1
LCM(14,29) = ( 14 × 29) / 1
LCM(14,29) = 406 / 1
LCM(14,29) = 406

Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 14 and 29 with Primes
