The greatest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you perhaps mean:

  • the greatest common FACTOR (the greatest number which divides into 14 and 21 without remainder): gcf(14, 21) = 7;
  • the LOWEST common multiple (the smallest number which is a positive multiple of both 14 and 21): lcm(14, 21) = 42

To find the greatest common factor (gcf, for short), first factorize 21 and 14.

14 = 2 x 7

21 = 3 x 7

Since 1 and 7 are the only common factors of both 14 and 21, we call 7 the greatest common factor.

The greatest common multiple is astronomical and irrelevant. The greatest common factor is 3. The least common multiple is 105.

The greatest common multiple is an infinite amount and not very practical. The LCM is 42. The GCF is 7.
