LCM for 15 and 25
What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 15 and 25?
(Seventy-five)
Finding LCM for 15 and 25 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 15 and 25 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 15 and 25 is 5, so
LCM = (15 × 25) ÷ 5
LCM = 375 ÷ 5
LCM = 75
Finding LCM for 15 and 25 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 15 and 25 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:
Multiples of 15: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105
Multiples of 25: 25, 50, 75, 100, 125
So the LCM for 15 and 25 is 75
Finding LCM for 15 and 25 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 15 and 25 is to list all Prime Factors for both numbers and multiply the highest exponent prime factors:
All Prime Factors of 15: 3, 5 (exponent form: 31, 51)
All Prime Factors of 25: 5, 5 (exponent form: 52)
31 × 52 = 75
