GCF and LCM of 14 and 18
The greatest common factor and least common multiple of 14 and 18.
GCF of 14 and 18
2
LCM of 14 and 18
126
How it works
Break each number into its prime factors:
- 14 = 2 × 7
- 18 = 2 × 3²
The GCF (2) multiplies the primes both share, at the lowest power each appears. The LCM (126) multiplies every prime that appears in either number, at the highest power — which is also 14 × 18 ÷ 2 = 126.
