Answer:180

Explanation:

you start by finding the prime factorization of the number

5=1*5

9=3*3

12=2*2*3

the shortest way to find the factors is to find is most of them like example, at max, there are 2 two's, 2 three's and 1 five then you multiply them all together

4*9*5=180 and that's the answer
