What is the LCM of 15 and 25?

The LCM of 15 and 25 is 75. We can find the LCM using the Listing multiples method, the prime factorization method and the long division method. These are explained below.

LCM of 15 and 25 Listing Multiples Method

Step 1 — Write down the multiples of the numbers. Don’t stop too early.

Multiples of 15 = 15,30,45,60,75,…

— Multiples of 25 = 25,50,75,…

Step 2— Find the smallest number common between the written multiples of 15 and 25

The smallest common multiple is 75.

Thus, LCM(15,25) = 75

LCM of 15 and 25 Using Prime Factorization

Step 1— factorize the numbers into its prime factors

15 =3×5

25 =5×5

Step 2— find the highest powers of the factors of 15 and 25

Step 3— Multiply the highest powers

LCM(15,25) = 75

LCM of 15 and 25 Using Division Method

Write the numbers 15,25 in a row

Divide them by their common prime factors, if there is one

Carry forward the numbers that are left undivided by the previously chosen factor

Continue dividing until the remainder is ‘1’

Multiply the divisors to find the LCM

LCM(15,25) = 75
