Does a SharePoint CU contain earlier CU's?

Question

Does the latest CU for SharePoint include all the CU's up to that date?

I am having problems downloading the earlier CU's on Microsoft site and wondering if downloading SP1 + latest CU would be enough to install an up to date environment.

Thanks, Ova

For sharepoint 2013.

• SharePoint Server 2013 SP1 + latest CU. (Previous releases of the SharePoint Server 2013 cumulative update included both the executable and the .CAB file in the same self-extracting executable download)

For SharePoint 2010

• SP2 installed before installing the CU + Latest CU( This CU includes all SharePoint 2010 fixes (including all SharePoint 2010 security fixes) released since SP2)

For SharePoint 2016

• RTM + latest CU
