What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 7, 8 and 16?

Answer

LCM of 7, 8 and 16 is
112

First common multiples: 112, 224, 336, …

112 is divisible by all three: 112 ÷ 7 = 16, 112 ÷ 8 = 14, 112 ÷ 16 = 7 — and 16, 14 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/7 by 16 and of y/8 by 14 and of z/16 by 7.
