Identify the Prime Factors of 16 and 20 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 16: 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 24
Prime Factorization of 20: 20 = 2 x 2 x 5 = 22 x 51
Prime Factors of 16 and 20: 2 and 5
Least Common Multiple of 16 and 20 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(16,20) = 24 x 51
LCM(16,20) = 16 x 5
LCM(16,20) = 80
Least Common Multiple of 16 and 20 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
