The normal method to determine the LCM of several numbers is to express each number in terms of its prime factors.

4 = 2 x 2 = 22

16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 24

32 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 25

The LCM is the product of the highest power of each prime factor.

In this case, '2' is the only prime factor and its highest power is 25 = 32.

Then, 32 is the LCM of 4,16 and 32.
