Given Numbers: 2, 4, 8, 16
Identify the Prime Factors of 2, 4, 8 and 16 by Prime Factorization:
Prime Factorization of 2: 2 = 21 (prime number)
Prime Factorization of 4: 4 = 2 x 2 = 22
Prime Factorization of 8: 8 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 23
Prime Factorization of 16: 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 24
Prime Factor of 2, 4, 8 and 16: 2
Least Common Multiple of 2, 4, 8 and 16 is their Prime Factor raised to its highest occurrence (largest exponent):
LCM(2, 4, 8, 16) = 24
LCM(2, 4, 8, 16) = 16
LCM(2, 4, 8, 16) = 16
Note: Since the given numbers are powers of 2 (prime powers), the largest one (16) is equal to the Least Common Multiple (LCM)
Least Common Multiple of 2, 4, 8 and 16 by Prime Factorization
The solution above and all other related solutions were provided by the Least Common Multiple by Prime Factorization Application.
