Answer:

14, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First things first, we can name out pairs with the ratio of 7:2.

7, 2

14, 4

21, 6

We can then test these pairs out with the first condition and find the answer.

The least common multiple has to be 28:

LCM(7, 2) = 14

LCM(14, 4) = 28

Ah, ha! We can see that the least common multiple of 14 and 4 is 28.
