Solution

To find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 15 and 25, follow these steps:

  1. First, list the prime factors of each number.

    • The prime factors of 15 are 3 and 5.
    • The prime factors of 25 are 5 and 5.
  2. Next, for each prime factor, take the highest count of this factor from all numbers.

    • The highest count of 3 from both numbers is 1 (from 15).
    • The highest count of 5 from both numbers is 2 (from 25).
  3. Then, multiply each prime factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number.

    • Multiply 3 (1 time) and 5 (2 times) together.
  4. The result is the LCM.

    • So, 355 = 75.

Therefore, the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 15 and 25 is 75.
