Answer:
LCM = 252.
Explanation:
First find their prime factors:
28 = 2*2*7
42 = 2*3*7
63 = 3*3*7
So, only including like factors once, LCM =
2*2*3*3*7
= 252
252
The least common multiple is the product of all factors in the greatest number of their occurrence.
LCM = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7
LCM = 2^2 x 3^2 x 7
LCM = 252
The least common multiple of 28, 42 and 63 is 252.
