What is the least common multiple of 10 and 16?

Answer 1

The least common multiple of 10 and 16 is 80.

To find the LCM of a pair of numbers, divide the product of the two numbers by their GCF.

The product of 10 and 16 is 160.

The GCF of 10 and 16 is 2. (10 = 2*5, 16 = 2*2*2*2)

So the LCM of 10 and 16 is 80.

You can also find the LCM of a set by listing the multiples of each number in the set and identifying the lowest of the multiples found in each number's list:

Multiples of 10 are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and so on.

Multiples of 16 are 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, and so on.

So the LCM of 10 and 16 is 80.
Multiples of 10: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80

Multiples of 16: 16, 32, 48, 64, 80
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 16 10 is 80.
80
It is: 80
