Prime factor each number   and put like factors [ without regard to powers on them]  in the same column

 

8  =    2^3

11 =             11

36 =   2^2         *       3^2

 

Take the factor with the higest power in each column and mulriply these together

 

2^3  * 11 * 3^2  =

 

8 * 11 * 9   =

 

72 * 11  =

 

792  = LCM  [  or, the "common denominator" ]
