LCM of 15 and 25
The least common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 25 is 75. Their greatest common factor (GCF) is 5.
Prime factorization method
Write each number as a product of primes: 15 = 3 × 5 and 25 = 5^2. The LCM takes every prime with its highest power, which gives 75. The GCF takes only the shared primes with their lowest power, which gives 5.
Check with the formula
For two numbers, LCM × GCF = a × b. Here 75 × 5 = 375, and 15 × 25 = 375, so the answer is correct.
