The least common multiple (LCM) is often also called the lowest common multiple or smallest common multiple. Keep in mind that these different terms all refer to the same thing: the smallest positive integer which is a multiple of two or more numbers.
The least common multiple of 16, 24, and 40 is 240.

What is the LCM 16 and 24?
Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 16 24 is 48.
What is the least common multiple of 16 21 24?
The LCM is: 336
What is the lowest common multiple of 5 and 16?
16 = 24 and 5 have no common factor so the LCM is 16x5=80
Fine the LCM of 6 and 24?
The least common multiple is 24.The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 6 and 24 is 24.
What is the least common multiple of 10 16 and 24?
One way to solve this is to find the least common multiple of two of the numbers, and then find the least common multiple of that result with the third number. The least common multiple of two numbers is their product divided by their greatest common factor.The greatest common factor of 10 and 16 is 2, so the least common multiple is 10 x 16 ÷ 2 = 80.The greatest common factor of 80 and 24 is 8, so the least common multiple is 80 x 24 ÷ 8 = 240.The least common multiple of 10, 16, and 24 is 240.Another way to solve this is to find the prime factors of each number, then choose the highest power of each factor and multiply them together.The prime factors of 10 are 2 and 5.The prime factors of 16 are 2, 2, 2, and 2, which is 24.The prime factors of 24 are 2, 2, 2, and 3, which is 23 and 3.The highest power of 2 is 24, the highest power of 3 is 3, and the highest power of 5 is 5. So, the least common multiple is 24 x 3 x 5 = 16 x 3 x 5 = 240.
