2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 48, the LCM
The least common factor of any set of positive integers is 1, and 1 does not have a prime factorization.
Prime factorization helps to find the greatest common factor and the least common multiple which, in turn, help in the adding, subtracting and reducing of fractions.

The Least Common Multiple of 8, 242 is 968.
The Least Common Multiple of 75, 105 is 525.
The prime factorization of 12 is 2 x 2 x 3. To find something in common, you need to compare it to another prime factorization. To save you the trouble, the least common factor of 12 and any other number is 1.
It is: 30
Prime factorization of 15 = 3x5Prime factorization of 50 = 2x5x5Prime factorization of 75 = 3x5x5LCM = 5x5x3x2 = 150
You need at least two numbers to find an LCM.
You don't. The least common factor of any set of positive integers is 1.
When prime factorization reveals more than one multiplicand or multiplier having the same value, group those prime factors together exponentially. For example, the prime factorization of 288 is 2x2x2x2x2x3x3, which is 25x32 in exponential form.
