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

Answer: LCM of 16 and 56 is 112

(One hundred twelve)

Finding LCM for 16 and 56 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 16 and 56 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 16 and 56 is 8, so

LCM = (16 × 56) ÷ 8

LCM = 896 ÷ 8

LCM = 112

Finding LCM for 16 and 56 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 16 and 56 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

Multiples of 56: 56, 112, 168, 224

So the LCM for 16 and 56 is 112

Finding LCM for 16 and 56 by Prime Factorization

Another method to find LCM for numbers 16 and 56 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 56: 2, 2, 2, 7 (exponent form: 23, 71)

24 × 71 = 112
