What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 15 and 39?

Answer

LCM of 15 and 39 is
195

First common multiples: 195, 390, 585, …

195 is divisible by both: 195 ÷ 15 = 13, 195 ÷ 39 = 5 — and 13 and 5 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/15 by 13 and of y/39 by 5.

15 = 3 × 5

39 = 3 × 13
