There is really no such thing as a "greatest common multiple". Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest multiple.

What is the greatest common factor for 14 and 56?

since 14 = 14 x 1 and 56 = 14 x 4 the answer is 14, since it divides evenly into both and clearly nothing larger will.There is a clever algorithm that can help you work this out in the general case:GCD(14, 56) = GCD(14, 56 - 14) = GCD(14, 42)This step (subtract the smaller from the larger) relies on the fact that any number that divides both 14 and 56 also divides 56 - 14.Repeat this:GCD(14, 42) = GCD(14, 42 - 14) = GCD(14, 28)GCD(14, 28) = GCD(14, 28 - 14) = GCD(14, 14)which is clearly 14.This is called Euclid's Algorithm.

Greatest number both 42 and 56 are divisible by?

The greatest number that both 42 and 56 are divisible by is their greatest common divisor (GCD). To find the GCD, we can list the factors of each number: the factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, and 42; the factors of 56 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, and 56. The largest common factor is 14, so the GCD of 42 and 56 is 14.
