The lowest common factor (the smallest positive whole number which divides into all the numbers without any remainder) of 3, 4, 16 is 1, as it is for any set of numbers. The highest common factor (the largest positive whole number which divides into all the numbers without any remainder) is also 1. The lowest common multiple ((the smallest positive whole number into which divide all the numbers without any remainder, ie the smallest positive whole number which is a multiple of all the numbers) is 48.

Probably the most common use is in adding fractions with different denominators. The least common multiple of the denominators is the least common denominator. Each fraction can be converted to one with the common denominator, and then you can add the fractions by adding their numerators.
Divide each of these numbers by 11, and the remainder is 5.
There is no smallest whole number - negative numbers go on forever. Therefore, there are infinitely many whole numbers that are smaller than the greatest 2-digit number.
