Factoring each number:
7=7
8=2*2*2
10=2*5
The LCM would be 7*2*2*2*5 = 280
It is impossible to find the highest common multiple of any set of numbers, because there is no end to numbers. However, it is possible to find the least common multiple of a set of numbers. The least common multiple of 300 and 882 is 220,500.
A common multiple of a set of numbers is at least as big as the largest of the numbers.Each of the numbers of the set will divide a common multiple evenly.
Multiples from a given set of numbers.
The least common multiple (LCM) of a set of numbers is the smallest number into which each number in the set will divide evenly. There is no LCM for less than two numbers.
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 6 14 is 42.
That's known as the least common multiple. or LCM.
It is the smallest number that is a multiple of all the numbers in the set. Or to put it another way, it is the smallest number divisible by all the numbers in the set.
The least common multiple of a set of numbers is the smallest number that all of the numbers in the set will divide into evenly.For example, look at the set LCM(2,3,4,5). The smallest number that they all divide into is 60. ■
The least common multiple (LCM) refers to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers. If you have only one number - whether or not it is a prime - you cannot have a least COMMON multiple.
The least common factor of any set of numbers is 1.
You need at least two numbers to find an LCM. IF that's 8 and 3, the LCM is 24.
