There is no such thing as a Highest Common Multiple (HCM), for it always equals to infinity, since multiples always stretch forever.
For example, the HCM of 4 and 7.
Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, ... infinity
Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, ...infinity
According to the working, the highest common factor of any number will always be infinity.
Very little in a practical sense. The highest common multiple of any set of numbers is an infinite amount.
The highest common multiple is an infinite number and has very little practical use.

What is the highest common multiple of 56 98 and 168?
There is no highest common multiple of 56, 98 and 168. Their highest common factor, which you may have meant, is 14.
What is the highest common multiple of 25 and 30?
I suppose you could say that the highest common multiple is infinity since there are an infinite number of common multiples. If you give a specific number as the highest common multiple, you can always find a larger one.
What are the highest common multiple of 5 and 25?
Infinity but the lowest common multiple is 25
What is the highest common multiple of 3 and 5?
The highest common multiple of two numbers is their least common multiple (LCM). The LCM of 3 and 5 is found by multiplying the two numbers and dividing by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the LCM of 3 and 5 is 15, as 3 * 5 / 1 = 15.
What is the highest common multiple of 32 and 24?
The highest common multiple of any set of integers is infinite.
