Prime Factorization:
14 = 2 * 7
18 = 2 * 3 * 3
LCM = 2 * 3^2 * 7 =126
Reduction through GCD:
LCM(a,b) = a * b / gcd(a,b)
GCD(14,18) = 2
LCM = 14 * 18 / 2
LCM = 252 / 2
LCM = 126
14 = 2 * 7
18 = 2 * 3 * 3
LCM = 2 * 3^2 * 7 =126
Reduction through GCD:
LCM(a,b) = a * b / gcd(a,b)
GCD(14,18) = 2
LCM = 14 * 18 / 2
LCM = 252 / 2
LCM = 126
