Given 16 and 24

To find the lowest common multiple of both numbera, we break the number down into multiples i.e

$\begin{gathered} Their\text{ multiples are} \\ 16=2*2*2*2=2^4 \\ 24=2*2*2*3=2^3*3 \end{gathered}$

The lowest common multiple will be

$\text{LCM}=2*2*2*2*3=48$

Hence, the LCM of 16 and 24 is 48
