"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4, 7 and 8?
Answer
LCM of 4, 7 and 8 is
56
First common multiples: 56, 112, 168, …
56 is divisible by all three: 56 ÷ 4 = 14, 56 ÷ 7 = 8, 56 ÷ 8 = 7 — and 14, 8 and 7 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/4 by 14 and of y/7 by 8 and of z/8 by 7.
4 = 22
7 — prime
8 = 23
| Prime | 4 | 7 | 8 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 22 | — | 23 | 23 |
| 7 | — | 7 | — | 7 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 23 × 7 = 56
