Least Common Multiple is the smallest number these
three will individually divide into.
To find it find the prime number factors of the three numbers, as follows:
6=2*3
28=(2^2)*7
48=(2^4)*3
Now take every different prime factor in its highest power to form the LCM,
as follows:
LCM = (2^4)*3*7= 16*21= 336

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6 = 2*3
28 = 2*2*7
48 = 2*2*2*2*3
Now, choose the numbers that make six.
2*3
Now, look at the numbers that make up 28. What numbers don't we have so far?
2*3*2*7 already have one two, so do not use
Now, repeat step two for the numbers that make up 48
2*3*2*7*2*2
The product is 336
