What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 16 and 57?

Answer

LCM of 16 and 57 is
912

First common multiples: 912; 1,824; 2,736; …

912 is divisible by both: 912 ÷ 16 = 57, 912 ÷ 57 = 16 — and 57 and 16 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/16 by 57 and of y/57 by 16.

16 and 57 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 16 × 57 = 912.

16 = 24

57 = 3 × 19
