Answer: LCM of 16 and 30 is 240

(Two hundred forty)

Finding LCM for 16 and 30 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 16 and 30 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 16 and 30 is 2, so

LCM = (16 × 30) ÷ 2

LCM = 480 ÷ 2

LCM = 240

Finding LCM for 16 and 30 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 16 and 30 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 16: 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224, 240, 256, 272

Multiples of 30: 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300

So the LCM for 16 and 30 is 240

Finding LCM for 16 and 30 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 16 and 30 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

All Prime Factors of 16: 2, 2, 2, 2 (exponent form: 24)

All Prime Factors of 30: 2, 3, 5 (exponent form: 21, 31, 51)

24 × 31 × 51 = 240
