Question
Find Least Common Multiple of 12 and 14 using LCM formula..
Answer
LCM( 12, 14 ) = 84
Explanation
The formula for finding LCM is
$$ \text{LCM} (a, b) = \frac{ a \cdot b }{ \text{GCD}(a,b)} $$In this example we have: a = 12, b = 14 and GCD(12, 14) = 2.
$$ \text{LCM} (12, 14) = \frac{ 12 \cdot 14 }{ \text{GCD}(12,14)} = \frac{ 168 }{ 2 } = 84 $$This page was created using
