Q:

Find the least common multiple of 15 and 12. 60 15 180 150

Accepted Solution

A:
The least common multiple is the smallest multiple of the given numbers that is a common multiple for all the numbers being compared.
We have to divide the numbers by numbers that are divisible
15,12
Divide both by 3 -15/3 =5. 12/3 =4
5 and 4 aren’t divisible by any common numbers, we take them as it is
L.C.M = 3*4*5 = 60
Answer is 60
