The LCM of $7$ and $8$ is $56$.

#### Explanation:

Well, the multiples of $7$ are

$7 , 14 , 21 , 28 , 35 , 42 , 49 , \underline{56}$

and the multiples of $8$ are

$8 , 16 , 24 , 32 , 40 , 48 , \underline{56}$

So you check your multiples and find your LCM by finding the numbers that match and whichever number is smaller and matches, that is your answer!

$\lcm \left(7 , 8\right) = 56$

#### Explanation:

another use the formula

if $a , b \text{ }$are two numbers

$a b = h c f \left(a , b\right) \times \lcm \left(a , b\right)$

$7 \times 8 = h c f \left(7 , 8\right) \times \lcm \left(a , b\right)$

$56 = 1 \times \lcm \left(a , b\right)$

$\therefore \lcm \left(7 , 8\right) = 56$
