What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8, 10 and 14?

Answer

LCM of 8, 10 and 14 is
280

First common multiples: 280, 560, 840, …

280 is divisible by all three: 280 ÷ 8 = 35, 280 ÷ 10 = 28, 280 ÷ 14 = 20 — and 35, 28 and 20 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/8 by 35 and of y/10 by 28 and of z/14 by 20.

8 = 23

10 = 2 × 5

14 = 2 × 7
