Yes.
16 is a common multiple of 2 and 8 but the least common multiple would be 8 because 2 time 4 =8 and 8 times1 = 8
The least common multiple of 2 , 8 , 16 = 16
The LCM of 2, 8, and 16 is 16
16 is.
The least common multiple of 16 and 8 is 16. Because 16 is a multiple of 8, it is automatically the LCM of the pair. Another approach: To find the least common multiple, factor each number to its prime factors and then multiply all the factors from the first number with any factors in the second number that are not repeated from the first number. The prime factors of 8 are 2 x 2 x 2. The prime factors of 16 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2.
The least common multiple of 6 and 16 is 48.6 = 2 * 3, 16 = 2 * 8, so 2 * 3 * 8 = 48 is the LCM
8, 16, 24 and so on.
8, 16, 24 and so on.
Since 16 is a multiple of 8, we can ignore 8 when determining the least common multiple of 14, 8, and 16. The prime factors of 14 are 2 and 7. The prime factors of 16 are 2, 2, 2, and 2. So the least common multiple needs 2, 2, 2, and 2 from 16. Since we already have a 2, we only need the 7 from 14. The least common multiple is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 = 112. Doublecheck: 112 / 14 = 8 112 / 16 = 7 112 / 8 = 14 Since 8 and 7 (the results of dividing by 14 and 16) are relatively prime, this is the least common multiple.
The least common multiple of 4, 8, and 16 is 16.
A common multiple is a multiple that two or more given numbers have in common. 16 is not a common multiple of 7 and 8. 16 is a common multiple of 4 and 8. So, it depends on the numbers for which you are trying to find a common multiple.
The Least Common Multiple of 8, 11, 16 is: 176
