Given:

The numbers are 14, 84 and 28.

Formula:

The least number which is exactly divisible by each one of the given numbers is called their LCM.

Calculation:

LCM of 14, 84 and 28 

14 = 2 × 7

84 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7

28 = 2 × 2 × 7

LCM of 14, 84 and 28 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 = 84

To make the number perfect square multiply by 3 and 7 in 84, then

⇒ 84 × 3 × 7 

⇒ 1764

∴ The least number which is a perfect square and is divisible by each of the numbers 14, 84 and 28 is 1764.
