What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 15 and 39?
(One hundred ninety-five)
Finding LCM for 15 and 39 using GCF's of these numbers
The first method to find LCM for numbers 15 and 39 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:
LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF
GCF of numbers 15 and 39 is 3, so
LCM = (15 × 39) ÷ 3
LCM = 585 ÷ 3
LCM = 195
Finding LCM for 15 and 39 by Listing Multiples
The second method to find LCM for numbers 15 and 39 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, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195, 210, 225
Multiples of 39: 39, 78, 117, 156, 195, 234, 273
So the LCM for 15 and 39 is 195
Finding LCM for 15 and 39 by Prime Factorization
Another method to find LCM for numbers 15 and 39 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 39: 3, 13 (exponent form: 31, 131)
31 × 51 × 131 = 195
