You can first find the missing factors of each number to find the lcm
So
15 = 5*3 and
25 = 5*5
In order to make them equal, Multiply 15 by 5 and 25 by 3 so that both of them are
5*3*5 which equals 75.
After that you can just multiply each by 2, 3, 4, and 5 because all the other common multiples are multiples of 75. You get
150, 225, 300, 375, as well as 75
So:
75
150
225
300
375
