Answer:

25

Explanation:

LCM = Least Common Multiple

To find the LCM, start by listing multiples, or the product of any two numbers.

5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35...

25: 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175...

Now, let's find the LCM by selecting the smallest shared multiple out of the lists we made.

5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35...

25: 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175...

Therefore, 25 is the LCM of 5 and 25.
