Find the LCM of 16 and 24.

Given :

The given numbers are 16 and 24.

To do :

We have to find the LCM of 16 and 24.

Solution :

LCM of 16 and 24.

Prime factorisation of 16 and 24 is,

$16 = 2\times 2 \times 2\times 2$

$24 = 2\times 2\times 2\times 3$

Therefore,

LCM of 16 and 24 $= 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3 = 16\times 3 = 48$.

Therefore, the LCM of 16 and 24 is 48.
