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

Answer

LCM of 15 and 25 is
75

First common multiples: 75, 150, 225, …

75 is divisible by both: 75 ÷ 15 = 5, 75 ÷ 25 = 3 — and 5 and 3 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/15 by 5 and of y/25 by 3.

15 = 3 × 5

25 = 52

— = power 0: the prime is not a factor of this number; the LCM takes it from the number that has it.

LCM = 3 × 52 = 75
