Identify the Prime Factors of 12 and 16 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 12: 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 = 22 x 31
Prime Factorization of 16: 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 24
Prime Factors of 12 and 16: 2 and 3
Least Common Multiple of 12 and 16 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(12,16) = 24 x 31
LCM(12,16) = 16 x 3
LCM(12,16) = 48
Least Common Multiple of 12 and 16 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
