    What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 4, 16 and 36?

    Answer

    LCM of 4, 16 and 36 is
    144

    First common multiples: 144, 288, 432, …

    144 is divisible by all three: 144 ÷ 4 = 36, 144 ÷ 16 = 9, 144 ÷ 36 = 4 — and 36, 9 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/4 by 36 and of y/16 by 9 and of z/36 by 4.

    4 = 22

    16 = 24

    36 = 22 × 32

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

    LCM = 24 × 32 = 144
