What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 16 and 35?

Answer

LCM of 16 and 35 is
560

First common multiples: 560; 1,120; 1,680; …

560 is divisible by both: 560 ÷ 16 = 35, 560 ÷ 35 = 16 — and 35 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 35 and of y/35 by 16.

16 and 35 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 16 × 35 = 560.

16 = 24

35 = 5 × 7
