    What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 12, 16 and 32?

    Answer

    LCM of 12, 16 and 32 is
    96

    First common multiples: 96, 192, 288, …

    96 is divisible by all three: 96 ÷ 12 = 8, 96 ÷ 16 = 6, 96 ÷ 32 = 3 — and 8, 6 and 3 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/12 by 8 and of y/16 by 6 and of z/32 by 3.

    12 = 22 × 3

    16 = 24

    32 = 25

    — = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.

    LCM = 25 × 3 = 96
