Another way besides VickieD's is to list the multiples of the larger number until you get to the one divisible by the smaller number so here goes:

60, 120, 180, 240 so the answer is 240

Use short division

2 16 60
2 8 30
2 4 15

LCM= 2*2*2*4*15=480

Prime factor each

16: 2*2*2*2
60: 2*2*3*5

LCM: 2*2*2*2*3*5 = 240
