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 $7$ is $7$.
The prime factorization of $5$ is $5$.
The prime factorization of $4$ is $2^{2}$.
Find the least common multiple by multiplying the prime number powers together, including only the greatest prime number power of each common prime.
