Hey there,

The Least Common Multiple or LCM of 15 and 50 would be 150. You can determine this by keep on multiplying the larger number until you get a result that is divisible by the other number.

E.X.

  • 50 x 1 = 50 *not divisible by 15*
  • 50 x 2 = 100 *not divisible by 15*
  • 50 x 3 = 150 *divisible by 15*

Hope I helped,

Amna

factors of 50 = 2 *5 *5

so Now

Least common multiple is

= 2* 3 *5 *5

= 150
