What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 7, 8 and 14?

Answer

LCM of 7, 8 and 14 is
56

First common multiples: 56, 112, 168, …

56 is divisible by all three: 56 ÷ 7 = 8, 56 ÷ 8 = 7, 56 ÷ 14 = 4 — and 8, 7 and 4 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 8 and of y/8 by 7 and of z/14 by 4.
