Answer:
Solution by Prime Factorization
List all prime factors for each number.
Prime Factorization of 45 is:
3 x 3 x 5 => 32 x 51
Prime Factorization of 60 is:
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 => 22 x 31 x 51
Prime Factorization of 105 is:
3 x 5 x 7 => 31 x 51 x 71
For each prime factor, find where it occurs most often as a factor and write it that many times in a new list.
The new superset list is
2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 7
Multiply these factors together to find the LCM.
LCM = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 1260
In exponential form:
LCM = 22 x 32 x 51 x 71 = 1260
LCM = 1260
Therefore,
LCM(45, 60, 105) = 1260
