LCM for 4, 16 and 24
"Least Common Multiple of 3 Numbers" Calculator
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4, 16 and 24?
Answer
LCM of 4, 16 and 24 is
48
First common multiples: 48, 96, 144, …
48 is divisible by all three: 48 ÷ 4 = 12, 48 ÷ 16 = 3, 48 ÷ 24 = 2 — and 12, 3 and 2 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/4 by 12 and of y/16 by 3 and of z/24 by 2.
4 = 22
16 = 24
24 = 23 × 3
| Prime | 4 | 16 | 24 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 22 | 24 | 23 | 24 |
| 3 | — | — | 3 | 3 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 24 × 3 = 48
