Answer:

112

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the least common multiple, we break the numbers down into prime factors

7 = 7

14 = 7*2

16 = 2*8 = 2*4*2 = 2*2*2*2

Then we take the largest number of times it appears in all the numbers

2 appears 4 times so we take take four 2's

7 appears 1 so we take one 7


LCM = 2*2*2*2*7

LCM = 112
