What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 13 and 16?

Answer

LCM of 13 and 16 is
208

First common multiples: 208, 416, 624, …

208 is divisible by both: 208 ÷ 13 = 16, 208 ÷ 16 = 13 — and 16 and 13 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/13 by 16 and of y/16 by 13.

13 and 16 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 13 × 16 = 208.
