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

Answer: LCM of 12 and 32 is 96

(Ninety-six)

Finding LCM for 12 and 32 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 12 and 32 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 12 and 32 is 4, so

LCM = (12 × 32) ÷ 4

LCM = 384 ÷ 4

LCM = 96

Finding LCM for 12 and 32 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 12 and 32 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120

Multiples of 32: 32, 64, 96, 128, 160

So the LCM for 12 and 32 is 96

Finding LCM for 12 and 32 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 12 and 32 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 12: 2, 2, 3 (exponent form: 2², 3¹)

All Prime Factors of 32: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 (exponent form: 2⁵)

2⁵ × 3¹ = 96
