"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 8, 14 and 28?
Answer
LCM of 8, 14 and 28 is
56
First common multiples: 56, 112, 168, …
56 is divisible by all three: 56 ÷ 8 = 7, 56 ÷ 14 = 4, 56 ÷ 28 = 2 — and 7, 4 and 2 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 7 and of y/14 by 4 and of z/28 by 2.
8 = 23
14 = 2 × 7
28 = 22 × 7
| Prime | 8 | 14 | 28 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 23 | 2 | 22 | 23 |
| 7 | — | 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
