To find the lowest common multiple you first need to split the numbers into their prime factors:
5=5
12=2x2x3
The next step would be to identify any common factors. In this case there are none, so we just take the factors we have and multiply them together:
5x2x2x3 = 60
Thus, the least common multiple of 5 and 12 is 60.
