1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.806
Here is the problem: Find the least common multiple of 14, 21.

2
00:00:05.256 --> 00:00:07.717
Find the least common multiple of the numbers.

3
00:00:08.517 --> 00:00:10.456
Prime factorization of each number.

4
00:00:10.906 --> 00:00:14.505
Use the GCF to combine 14 and 21.

5
00:00:14.955 --> 00:00:20.806
Confirm with prime factors. Take every prime that appears, each with its largest exponent.

6
00:00:21.606 --> 00:00:23.487
So the answer is 42.

7
00:00:23.937 --> 00:00:28.918
42 is the smallest positive number that every input divides exactly.

8
00:00:29.718 --> 00:00:32.702
42 divided by 14 equals 3.

9
00:00:33.152 --> 00:00:36.066
42 divided by 21 equals 2.
