what is the LCM of 6 and 16?

Answer 1

48
I see a few people put 2. This is not the LCM, 2 is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)
People often confuse these, especially since the names are a little misleading. The least common multiple is the smallest number that will serve as a multiple for all the numbers given, and must be greater than or equal to the largest number in the set.
The greatest common divisor is the largest number that will divide all the numbers given, and must be less than or equal to the smallest number in the set.
There are some good online tutorials for how to find LCM and LCD, to find them, put tutorial LCM or tutorial LCD in your search window. You'll get results like this:

Answer 2

LCM is the lesser factor that divides two or more numbers at the same time.
LCM(6, 16) = 48
6, 16| 2
3, 08|2
3, 04|2
3, 02|2
3, 01|3
1,01
2^4 x 3 = 16 x 3 = 48
Answer is 48.

Answer 3

The LCM of 2 numbers is their product divided
by their greatest common factor.
Here the greatest common factor is 2,
so the LCM is 6*16/2 = 48.

Answer 4

48. 6 x 8 =48 and 16 x 3 = 48. good luck with the rest of your math homework.

It's 48:
16x3=48
6x8=48

Answer 10

48 =)

Prime factorize each number:
6 = 2 x 3
16 = 2^4

LCM = 2^4 x 3
(Remember: Highest powers of any common numbers and any leftover ones)
