Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common multiple of 2 and 7 is 1, because they are both prime numbers (numbers that cannot be divided by anything other than one or themselves).

Why bother with the greatest common multiple?

There's a very sneaky formula you can do to calculate the LCM with this.

[tex]lcm(a, b) = \frac{|a * b|}{gcd(a, b)}[/tex]

where lcm(a, b) = the least common multiple of integers a and b (1)

a = integer a (2)

b = integer b (7)

gcd(a, b) = greatest common divisor of integers a and b

So let's use it, we have all the available numbers.

[tex]lcm(a, b) = \frac{|2 * 7|}{1} = 14[/tex]
