LCM for 16 and 64
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 16 and 64?
(Sixty-four)
Finding LCM for 16 and 64 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 16 and 64 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 16 and 64 is 16, so
LCM = (16 × 64) ÷ 16
LCM = 1024 ÷ 16
LCM = 64
Finding LCM for 16 and 64 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 16 and 64 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
Multiples of 64: 64, 128, 192, 256, 320, 384, [...], 64
So the LCM for 16 and 64 is 64
Finding LCM for 16 and 64 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 16 and 64 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 64: 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 (exponent form: 26)
26 = 64
