There is really so 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.
The first few common multiples of 7 and 14 are: 14, 28, 42, 56, and 70.

What is the greatest common multiple of 14 and 21?
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
