14 is the LCM.

Explanation:

If we have to find LCM of two numbers, the smaller of which is a factor of bigger number or alternatively bigger number is a multiple of smaller number,

then bigger number is the LCM of the two numbers.

Here as 7 is a factor of 14 or 14 is a multiple of 7, hence

14 is the LCM.

Note : Smaller number in such cases will be the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).
