What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 16 and 23?
Answer
LCM of 16 and 23 is
368
First common multiples: 368; 736; 1,104; …
368 is divisible by both: 368 ÷ 16 = 23, 368 ÷ 23 = 16 — and 23 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 23 and of y/23 by 16.
16 and 23 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 16 × 23 = 368.
16 = 24
23 — prime
| Prime | 16 | 23 | Highest power |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 24 | — | 24 |
| 23 | — | 23 | 23 |
— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.
LCM = 24 × 23 = 368
