LCM - Least Common Multiple - LCM means the lowest quantity / number that is divisible by all the mentioned quantities / numbers.

Here the numbers mentioned are 15, 18 and 24. Let us factorise each of them.

15 = 3*5
18 = 3^2*2
24 = 2^3*3

In order to obtain the LCM of the above mentioned numbers, we multiply all the prime factors in their highest power of all the numbers.

Hence, the LCM here is 3^2*2^3*5 = 360.

Hence the Answer = 360 => Which happens to be the LCM of the above mentioned Numbers.

Hence, the Answer here is D.

E. 720

What is the least common multiple of 15, 18, and 24?
15 = 3*5
18 = 2*3^2
24 = 2^3*3

LCM (15,18,24) = 2^3*3^2*5 = 8 * 9 * 5 = 360

IMO D
