What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 16 and 45?

Answer: LCM of 16 and 45 is 720

(Seven hundred twenty)

Finding LCM for 16 and 45 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 16 and 45 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 16 and 45 is 1, so

LCM = (16 × 45) ÷ 1

LCM = 720 ÷ 1

LCM = 720

Finding LCM for 16 and 45 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 16 and 45 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, 288, 304, 320, 336, 352, 368, 384, 400, 416, 432, 448, 464, 480, 496, 512, 528, 544, 560, 576, 592, 608, 624, 640, 656, 672, 688, 704, 720, 736, 752

Multiples of 45: 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, 315, 360, 405, 450, 495, 540, 585, 630, 675, 720, 765, 810

So the LCM for 16 and 45 is 720

Finding LCM for 16 and 45 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 16 and 45 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 45: 3, 3, 5 (exponent form: 3², 5¹)

2⁴ × 3² × 5¹ = 720
