Question 188555: find the LCM of 16 2 and 45

If I am reading your question correctly, you need the least common factor of 16, 2, and 45.
Because the smallest number is 2, which when factored is 1*2, the LCF must be either 1 or 2.
Try 2: 2 is a factor of 16 and 2, but not of 45. Answer is not 2,
Try 1: 1 is a factor of all three numbers, so the answer is 1.
