The least common multiple of them both (10 and 14) would be 70!
Now to break it down a little for the people in the back -
10's least common multiples go a little like this.. 60, 70, 80- etc.
While 14's least common multiples are 56, 70, 84, etc.
Which number is in common ? 70! (:
I hope all is well, and you pass! Good luck, rockstar!

We can do this by just adding 14 to 14 until we get a number that is divisible by 10.  We can do it this way because it will be a small number.  Let's list them out.  14, 28, 42, 56, 70.  70 is divisible by 10, so 70 is the answer.
