You have the following information:

Dante can plant all his roses by planting 12 or 15 roses in every row.

Due to the previous situation, it is necessary to determine how many rows are in the Dante's garden.

It is necessary to calculate the least common multilple of both 12 and 15, because in this way rows of 12 roses and 15 roses could fill the complete garden.
