GCF and LCM of 14 and 60

The GCF of 14 and 60 is 2. The LCM of 14 and 60 is 420.

GCF (greatest common factor, also called GCD or HCF) of 14 and 60 = 2
LCM (least common multiple) of 14 and 60 = 420

Method 1: list the factors (GCF)

Factors of 14: 1, 2, 7, 14.
Factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60.
Common factors: 1 and 2. The greatest of these is 2.

Method 2: prime factorization

14 = 2 × 7
60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

GCF: multiply the prime factors both numbers share: 2 = 2.

LCM: multiply every prime the maximum number of times it appears in either number: 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 420.

Method 3: Euclidean algorithm (GCF)

Divide the larger number by the smaller and repeat with the remainder until it is 0. The last non-zero remainder is the GCF.

60 = 4 × 14 + 4
14 = 3 × 4 + 2
4 = 2 × 2 + 0

The last non-zero remainder is 2, so GCF(14, 60) = 2.

LCM by listing multiples

Multiples of 14: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98, 112, 126, ...
Multiples of 60: 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 420, 480, ...
The first number in both lists is 420.

Check: GCF × LCM = product

2 × 420 = 840 = 14 × 60. This always holds for two numbers, so you can find the LCM as (14 × 60) ÷ 2 = 420.
