28 is the least common multiple. To find the least common multiple, you look through the numbers both 4 and 7 go into. The smallest of those number is the least common multiple, or LCD.

First, find the prime factorization of 4.

2×2=4

Next, find the prime factorization of 7.

7×1=7

Then, multiply each factor the greater number of times it occurs.

7×2×2=28

Hope this helps!
