Answer:
A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 which has no divisor other than 1 and itself.
example :
2
,
3
,
5
,
7
,
11
,
13
...
etc
The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest non zero number which is a multiple of both numbers.
considering the L.C.M of two primes :
2
and
3
, here the L.C.M =
2
×
3
=
6
3
and
5
, L.C.M =
3
×
5
=
15
2
and
7
, L.C.M =
2
×
7
=
14
so if
p
and
q
are primes L.C.M
=
p
×
q
=
p
q
