SteveTo find the least common multiple (LCM) of 12 and 16, we first need to find the prime factorization of each number. The prime factorization of 12 is 2^2 * 3, and the prime factorization of 16 is 2^4. To find the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either number, so the LCM of 12 and 16 is 2^4 * 3 = 48.
