Identify the Prime Factors of 16 and 18 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 16: 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 24
Prime Factorization of 18: 18 = 2 x 3 x 3 = 21 x 32
Prime Factors of 16 and 18: 2 and 3
Least Common Multiple of 16 and 18 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(16,18) = 24 x 32
LCM(16,18) = 16 x 9
LCM(16,18) = 144
Least Common Multiple of 16 and 18 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
