GCF and LCM of 14 and 60

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

  1. 60 = 4 × 14 + 4
  2. 14 = 3 × 4 + 2
  3. 4 = 2 × 2 + 0

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