Figure the prime factorization of each
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
20 = 2 x 2 x 5
24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
You need the number that will have all those factors:
So the LCM is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 120

LCM(a,b) = ab/GCD(a,b).
LCM(8,20)=160/GCD(a,b)=160/4=40.
LCM(8,20,24)=
LCM(40,24)=
40*24/GCD(40,24)=
40*24/8=
40*3=
120.
