How do you balance this equation using the oxidation number method only?

ClO4-1 + Al + H+  Cl-1 + Al+3 + H2O

ON of Al is increasing from 0 to +3. Net change in ON = +3
ON of Cl is decreasing from +7 to -1. Net change in ON = -8

The Least Common Multiple of 3 and 8 is 24. So 8 atoms of Al would yield the same ...
