What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 16 and 17?
Answer
LCM of 16 and 17 is
272
First common multiples: 272, 544, 816, …
272 is divisible by both: 272 ÷ 16 = 17, 272 ÷ 17 = 16 — and 17 and 16 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/16 by 17 and of y/17 by 16.
16 and 17 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 16 × 17 = 272.
16 = 24
17 — prime
| Prime | 16 | 17 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 24 | — | 24 |
| 17 | — | 17 | 17 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 24 × 17 = 272
