What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 3, 7 and 11?

Answer

LCM of 3, 7 and 11 is
231

First common multiples: 231, 462, 693, …

231 is divisible by all three: 231 ÷ 3 = 77, 231 ÷ 7 = 33, 231 ÷ 11 = 21 — and 77, 33 and 21 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/3 by 77 and of y/7 by 33 and of z/11 by 21.
