What is the LCM of 16 and 56?

What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 16 and 56?

Answer

LCM of 16 and 56 is

112

First common multiples: 112, 224, 336, …

112 is divisible by both: 112 ÷ 16 = 7, 112 ÷ 56 = 2 — and 7 and 2 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/16 by 7 and of y/56 by 2.

16 = 2⁴

56 = 2³ × 7

Prime	16	56	Highest power
2	2⁴	2³	2⁴
7	—	7	7

— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.

LCM = 2⁴ × 7 = 112
