What is the least common multiple for 2 3 and 8?
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) for 2 3 8 is 24.
Is any multiple of 2 is also a multiple of 4?
yes 2x4=8 4x2=8 or 2x6=12 3x4=12 No, but any multiple of 2 is a multiple of 4. For example, 26 is a multiple of 2 (x13) but NOT a multiple of 4 (4x6=24; 4x7=28).
What is the least common multiple between 2 and 8?
8
Any multiple of 8 is also a multiple of 4?
8 2X4, any multiple of 8 say n8 2X4Xn and is therefore divisible by both 2 and 4
What is the LCM of 8 14 and 16?
Since 16 is a multiple of 8, we can ignore 8 when determining the least common multiple of 14, 8, and 16. The prime factors of 14 are 2 and 7. The prime factors of 16 are 2, 2, 2, and 2. So the least common multiple needs 2, 2, 2, and 2 from 16. Since we already have a 2, we only need the 7 from 14. The least common multiple is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 = 112. Doublecheck: 112 / 14 = 8 112 / 16 = 7 112 / 8 = 14 Since 8 and 7 (the results of dividing by 14 and 16) are relatively prime, this is the least common multiple.
