Multiples of 16
Multiples of 16 are what you get when you multiply 16 by whole numbers. Common multiples of two numbers lead to the LCM.
Skip-counting keeps the last-digit rhythm of 16: the first ten multiples end in 6, 2, 8, 4, 0, 6, 2, 8, 4, 0. The first ten also pair to 176 in five pairs (16 + 160, 32 + 144, …) — the same numbers the multiplication table shows under other names. Every multiple shown keeps the even parity of 16 — the column never leaves it. The tenth multiple is the place-value shift: 160 is just 16 with a zero appended, since multiplying by ten always moves one place left. First common multiple with 2: 16, right here in row 1; with 3: 48 (row 3).
