LCM for 16 and 43
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 16 and 43?
(Six hundred eighty-eight)
Finding LCM for 16 and 43 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 16 and 43 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 16 and 43 is 1, so
LCM = (16 × 43) ÷ 1
LCM = 688 ÷ 1
LCM = 688
