Prime number : A number is called a prime number, if it has no factor other than one and the number itself.

LCM : LCM  of two or more numbers =  product of the greatest power of each common prime factor involved in the numbers, with highest power.

SOLUTION :  

Given : p & q are two Prime numbers.

We know that , prime numbers have only two factors 1 and the number itself.

Let p = 3 and q = 5

The  factors of p and q are as follows :  

p = 3 × 1

q = 5  × 1

LCM (3,5) = 3 × 5 = 15

Hence, LCM(p,q) is pq
