? help plz thank u

Answer 1

42

Answer 2

start by listing the multiples of 14

Answer 3

and then at the same time start to list the multiples for 16

Answer 4

it means which no. is the least that is a multiple of both 14 and 6

14=2 x 7

6=2x3

so the factor 2 is common, but 7 and 3 arent..

so a 2x7x3 (=42) will have factors common to both. so will be a multiple of both, and the least no to be so. This, that is is the LCM.

ans. 42
