Question

if the HCF of 32 and 48 is 16 what is the LCM
​

Answer 1

Answer:

LCM is called least common multiple. From the above, it is clear that 32=2×2×2×2×2 and 48=2×2×2×2×3 . We get that the highest common factors of 32 and 48 are 2×2×2×2⇒16. So, the greatest common factor of all common factors of 32 and 48 is equal to 16.
