What is the LCM of 5(x-3) and 15(x-3).

Step 1. The Least Common Multiple is the smallest number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.

Step 2. In this example, looking first at the numbers, the Least Common Multiple of 5 and 15 is 15, because 15 is a multiple of 15 and also a multiple of 5.

Step 3. Also x-3 is the least common multiple between the two terms.

Step 4. ANSWER: The LCM is 15(x-3).

I hope the above steps were helpful.
