Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

You can actually use a diagram. This is when you list similar things and different ones in sections. When you find the prime factorization of 12 and 16...

12

2,2,3

16

2,2,2,2

As you can see, 4 is the greatest common factor. You can drop one 4 and keep the other.

Then, your list should look like this:

12

4,3

16

2,2

Once your list is organized, you can multiply to find you least common multiple.

2*2*4*3=64
