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.
