Identify the Prime Factors of 16 and 24 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 16: 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 24
Prime Factorization of 24: 24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 23 x 31
Prime Factors of 16 and 24: 2 and 3
Least Common Multiple of 16 and 24 is the product of their Prime Factors raised to the highest occurrence (largest exponent) of each factor:
LCM(16,24) = 24 x 31
LCM(16,24) = 16 x 3
LCM(16,24) = 48
Least Common Multiple of 16 and 24 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
