What is the least common multiple of 16 and 24

To find the Least Common Multiple of 16 and 24 you need to do the multiples until they have the same number

Multiples of 16: 16,32,48

Multiples of 24: 24,48

So looking at the multiples the answer would be 48! Hope I helped you! Have a good day! =)

16:   2222 24:   222 3LCM: 2222   3The Least Common Multiple (LCM) is:   2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 48 

Or 

The multiples of 16 are ... , 32, 48, 64,
The multiples of 24 are ..., 24, 48, 72, ...

Therefore, the least common multiple of 16 and 24 is 48.
I hope this help. :)

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. if you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
