The number that both 16 and 18 can go into is the least common multiple (LCM) of the two numbers. To find the LCM, you can factorize each number into its prime factors: 16 = 2^4 and 18 = 2 * 3^2. Then, you take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either number, which gives you 2^4 * 3^2 = 144. Therefore, 144 is the smallest number that both 16 and 18 can go into.
