Jan 2, 2017 at 6:49 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე @Theo Right, I had this in mind. It requires quite a lot of previous material though - calculation of $K_2(\mathbb Z)$ (IV.5.2.2), $K_3(\mathbb Z)$ (VI.10) and the multiplication $\{-1,\_,\_\}$ (1.19) and (1.20) as well as $K$-theory of finite fields (1.13)

Jan 1, 2017 at 22:44 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd @მამუკაჯიბლაძე I couldn't find this at the location you suggested, although I don't have the published version available. There is an Exercise 1.20 in Chapter IV on page 16 of math.rutgers.edu/~weibel/Kbook.html, which I think would be page 299 of the book. Probably you mean that these answers can be extracted from Chaper IV Corollary 1.20? Do you mind providing more instruction? I have left a CW answer you could edit, or you could leave a complete answer on your own.

Jan 1, 2017 at 5:27 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე Quickest reference is probably 4.1.20 in Weibel's K-book (page 299 there): for integers it gives what @Theo says, for a finite field with $q$ elements --- $\mathbb Z/(q^2-1)\mathbb Z$ (stabilization is from $n=3$ on)
Jan 1, 2017 at 4:59 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd I happen to remember that H_3(SL_2(3)) = Z/24, in case that helps. This number 24 shows up a lot.
Jan 1, 2017 at 4:58 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd I don't know the F_p case. If memory serves, H_3(SL_n(Z)) = Z/24 for n large. I left this as a comment rather than answer both because I am missing the F_p case and because I don't have a reference handy. (I can dig for one if needed.)
