Finding LCM for 15 and 33 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 15 and 33 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 15 and 33 is 3, so

LCM = (15 × 33) ÷ 3

LCM = 495 ÷ 3

LCM = 165
