LCM for 8 and 16

The first method to find LCM for numbers 8 and 16 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 8 and 16 is 8, so

LCM = (8 × 16) ÷ 8

LCM = 128 ÷ 8

LCM = 16

The second method to find LCM for numbers 8 and 16 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32

Multiples of 16: 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224, 240, 256, 272, 288, 304, 320, 336, 352, 368, 384, 400, 416, 432, 448, 464, 480, 496, 512, 528, 544, 560, 576, 592, 608,
