What is the LCM of 2, 16 and 20?

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2, 16 and 20?

Answer

LCM of 2, 16 and 20 is

80

First common multiples: 80, 160, 240, …

80 is divisible by all three: 80 ÷ 2 = 40, 80 ÷ 16 = 5, 80 ÷ 20 = 4 — and 40, 5 and 4 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/2 by 40 and of y/16 by 5 and of z/20 by 4.

2 — prime

16 = 2⁴

20 = 2² × 5

Prime	2	16	20	Highest power
2	2	2⁴	2²	2⁴
5	—	—	5	5

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

LCM = 2⁴ × 5 = 80
