Jack has 11 horses. He wants to give 1/2 to his eldest son, 1/4 to his middle son, and 1/6 to his youngest. How?
The answer cannot be done evenly with 11 horses, since it would create fractions of horses. To make it an integer problem, the number of horses must be a multiple of 2 (from half), 4 (from one fourth), and 6 (from one sixth).
2 = 2 x 1
4 = 2 x 2
6 = 2 x 3
LCM = 22 x 3 = 12
If he has 12 horses (LCM) or any multiple of 12, he can evenly divide them.
