LCM for 2 and 16

The first method to find LCM for numbers 2 and 16 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 2 and 16 is 2, so

LCM = (2 × 16) ÷ 2

LCM = 32 ÷ 2

LCM = 16

The second method to find LCM for numbers 2 and 16 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

Multiples of 16: 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, [...], 16

So the LCM for 2 and 16 is 16

Another method to find LCM for numbers 2 and 16 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:

• What is the GCF of 2 and 16
• 2/16 as a decimal
• What is 2/16 as a percent?
