9 = 3 × 3.


        15 = 3 × 5.







        Step II: The product of all the factors with


        highest powers.






        = 3 × 3 × 5 = 45.







        Step III: The required least common multiple


        (L.C.M) of 9 and 15 = 45.



        2. What is the least common




        multiple (L.C.M) of 16 and 28 by




        using prime factorization




        method?
