You asked:
Find the least common multiple of the following numbers: \(8, 7, 5\).
MathBot Answer:
The least common multiple of a set of integers is the smallest positive integer divisible by all integers in the set.
The prime factorization of $8$ is $2^{3}$.
The prime factorization of $7$ is $7$.
The prime factorization of $5$ is $5$.
Find the least common multiple by multiplying the prime number powers together, including only the greatest prime number power of each common prime.
$\text{lcm}(8, 7, 5) = 2^{3} \times 5 \times 7 = 280.$
