What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 15 and 147?

Answer: LCM of 15 and 147 is 735

(Seven hundred thirty-five)

Finding LCM for 15 and 147 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 15 and 147 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 15 and 147 is 3, so

LCM = (15 × 147) ÷ 3

LCM = 2205 ÷ 3

LCM = 735
