In order to find the common multiples of four n umbers you should first break them into their prime factors:

4 = 2x2

8 = 2x2x2

11 = 11

12 = 2x2x3

The next step is to identify common factors. In this case, three numbers have two 2s as prime factors, so we can discard four of these. That leaves us with 2, 2, 2, 11 and 3. Multiply these together to find the lowest common multiple:

2x2x2x11x3 = 264

To find other common multiples, you just multiply this number by an integer (2, 3, 4...)

Thus the first few common multiples of 4, 8, 11 and 12 are:

264, 528, 792, 1056...
