Answer:

720

Explanation:

The LCM of these numbers will have every factor that is part of these numbers.

16 = 2^4

30 = 2 × 3 × 5

36 = 2^2 × 3^2

So, the LCM will have factors of 2^4, 3^2, and 5:

LCM(16, 30, 36) = 2^4 × 3^2 × 5 = 720

720 = 16×45 = 30×24 = 36×20

The least common multiple is 720.
