What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 7, 8 and 10?

Answer

LCM of 7, 8 and 10 is
280

First common multiples: 280, 560, 840, …

280 is divisible by all three: 280 ÷ 7 = 40, 280 ÷ 8 = 35, 280 ÷ 10 = 28 — and 40, 35 and 28 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/7 by 40 and of y/8 by 35 and of z/10 by 28.
