The smallest positive integer that is a multiple of all the integers provided as inputs is known as the least common multiple.
Because 48 is the smallest multiple of all three integers 6,8 and 16, =LCM(6,8,16) returns 48. However, because 24 is the lowest multiple of all three integers, =LCM(8,12,3) returns 24.
