Question

what is the lowest common multiple of 8 16 and 32​

Answer 1

Answer:

The LCM of 8, 16 and  32  is 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

We are given three integers  8 , 16 , 32

To Find :

Lowest common Multiple of given integers

Solution :

To Find the lowest common multiple of the given integers we have to factorize them

• the factorization of 8 = 2 x 2 x 2
• the factorization of 16 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
• the factorization of 32 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

Now we will select max occurrence of the prime numbers

max occurrence of prime number 2 = 5 times

so the LCM = (2x2x2x2x2)

                   = 32

Hence we have calculated the LCM of 8 , 16 and 32 is 32
