What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 15, 20 and 25?

Answer

LCM of 15, 20 and 25 is
300

First common multiples: 300, 600, 900, …

300 is divisible by all three: 300 ÷ 15 = 20, 300 ÷ 20 = 15, 300 ÷ 25 = 12 — and 20, 15 and 12 have no factor but 1 common to all of them, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/15 by 20 and of y/20 by 15 and of z/25 by 12.

15 = 3 × 5

20 = 22 × 5

25 = 52
