What is the least common multiple of 6 and 16?

Answer 1

The answer is #48#.

Finding the prime factors of each and raising each distinct factor to the highest power it appears in either decomposition are the steps involved in calculating the least common multiple of two positive integers, for example:

#6=3\cdot 2#

#16=2^4#

And therefore: #lcm(6, 16)=3\cdot 2^4=48#.
