Only one can be least. That's 42. The next two are 84 and 126.
18
The first three common multiples of 6 and 8 are the first three multiples of the least common multiple of 6 and 8. 6 = 2 x 3 and 8 = 2 x 2 x 2. Therefore, the LCM of 6 and 8 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 or 24. The first three multiples of 24 are 24, 48 and 72.
24 and 48
Since 26 is a multiple of 2, it is automatically the LCM of this problem.
