The 2nd common multiple=LCM×2=272×2=544  If A and B are two numbers                            A×B=LCM×GCD  A=16, LCM=272, GCD=G(say),B=?                           16×B=272×G                                    B=17G (general answer)  For G=1,2,3,...B=17,34,51,68,...

$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{2nd}\:\mathrm{common}\:\mathrm{multiple}=\mathrm{LCM}×\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{272}×\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{544} \\ $$$$\mathrm{If}\:\mathrm{A}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{B}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{two}\:\mathrm{numbers}\: \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{A}×\mathrm{B}=\mathrm{LCM}×\mathrm{GCD} \\ $$$$\mathrm{A}=\mathrm{16},\:\mathrm{LCM}=\mathrm{272},\:\mathrm{GCD}=\mathrm{G}\left(\mathrm{say}\right),\mathrm{B}=? \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{16}×\mathrm{B}=\mathrm{272}×\mathrm{G} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{B}=\mathrm{17G}\:\left(\mathrm{general}\:\mathrm{answer}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{For}\:\mathrm{G}=\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2},\mathrm{3},...\mathrm{B}=\mathrm{17},\mathrm{34},\mathrm{51},\mathrm{68},... \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: \\ $$
