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
