C is right

Find Greatest Common factor for both the numbers and then divide the product of both the numbers from the the GCF.

Yes there is a shorter way

152 = 2*2*2*19

190 = 2*5*19

I think everyone knows how to do this.
Then

choose 2*2*2 and choose 5 and choose 19

2*2*2*5*19 = 760

can you put in the general form how we can handle such problems?

Will do.

Suppose u have two numbers - 27 and 63.

get them down to their primes.

27 = 3*3*3
63 = 3*3*7

Since 3*3 is common delete it from one of them and then
LCM = 3*3*3*7

Suppose u have 3 numbers - 27, 63, 72

27 = 3*3*3
63 = 3*3*7
72 = 2*2*2*3*3

Since 3*3 is common delete it from 2 of the numbers and then
LCM = 2*2*2*3*3*3*7

Also LCM is useful for these kinds of problems:
J take 15 min to inspect a car
K takes 20 min to inspect a car
When will they finish inspecting the same car?

j * 15 = k * 20 where j is the number of cars J inspected and k the number of cars K inspected.

Take the LCM
15 = 3*5
20 = 2*2*5

so LCM = 2*2*3*5 = 60
After 60 min

Hope this helps.

152 = 2^3 * 19^1

190 = 2^1 * 5^1 * 19 ^1

For the LCM, take the highest power of each unique factor among the numbers and get the product.

Here it is 2^3 * 5 * 19 = 760

$$152 = 2^3 * 19$$

$$190 = 2 * 5 * 19$$

$$LCM = 2^3 * 5 * 19 = 760$$

let's start by prime factorization of 152 and 190.
150 = 2*2*2*19
190 = 2*5*19
so least common multiple should contain prime factors of both numbers hence LCM is 2*2*2*5*19 = 760

$$152 =2*2*2*19= 2^3*19^1$$
$$190 =2*5*19 \quad= 2^1*5^1*19^1$$

L.C.M(least common multiple) is obtained by multiplication of each unique factor raised to highest power present in either of two numbers.

$$L.C.M =2^3*5^1*19^1=760$$
