Well, isn't that a happy little math problem! To find the least common multiple, we look for the smallest number that all three numbers can divide evenly into. First, we find the prime factors of each number: 27 = 3 x 3 x 3, 36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3, and 48 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3. Then, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the numbers: 2^4 x 3^3 = 432. So, the least common multiple of 27, 36, and 48 is 432.
