There is really no such thing as a "greatest common multiple". Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest multiple.

What is the greatest common multiple of 16 and 24?

There is no greatest common multiple. Ever! If x were the greatest common multiple, then what about 2x? Since x is a multiple of 16 and 24 then so also is 2x, so that 2x is a COMMON multiple. And it would certainly be greater that x. So 2x is a common multiple that is greater than the greatest common multiple. What?!


The smallest common factor of 16 and 24?

There is no such thing as the smallest common factor. I guess the smallest common factor (integers only) for 16 and 24 would be -8. But that's just the negative version of the greatest common factor. I think you meant to ask either what is the smallest common multiple of 16 and 24 or what is the greatest common factor of 16 and 24. The greatest common factor of 16 and 24 is 8. The smallest common multiple of 16 and 24 is 48.
