Question

What is the least common multiple of 8, 12, 7

Answer 1

For this case, we have that by definition, the minimum common multiple of two or more natural numbers, is the smallest natural number that is common multiplipo of the given numbers. Then:

$8: 2 * 2 * 2 = 2 ^ 3\\12: 2 * 2 * 3 = 2 ^ 2 * 3\\\7: 7$

Taking the common and uncommon factors with their greatest exponent, we have to:

$m.c.m = 2 ^ 3 * 3 * 7 = 8 * 3 * 7 = 168$

Answer:

168

Answer 2

Ur answer will be 168 because it’s the smallest number that all of the numbers divide into evenly
