The least common factor is a term often mistakenly given to either the greatest common factor (GCF) or the least common multiple (LCM). This term is not often used because it does not describe a useful relationship between numbers. Since 1 evenly divides all integers, 1 is technically the least common factor for any set of integers.
8 and 9 are relatively prime, which means that they share no factors aside from 1.

The least common factor of any set of numbers is 1.
7 is a prime number, and not a factor of 8 or 9. 1, 2, 4, and 8 are factors of 8. 1, 3, and 9 are factors of 9. 7, 8, and have no common factors. So the least common multiple of 7, 8, and 9 are 7 X 8 X 9, which equals 504504
