What is the LCM of 64 and 96?

Answer 1

This Question needs to be answered in a few steps.

The first step is to split each number into a product of its prime factors.

64 as a product of its prime factors = 2^6

96 as a product of its prime factors = 2^5*3

The LCM will be written as a product of the largest instances of the indices in each unit above.

LCM = 2^6*3 = 192

This should be correct, but it is always good to check.

192/64 = 3; 192/96 = 2, so this answer is plausible. It is: 192
