What is the lowest common multiple of 15 and 33?

The lowest common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 33 is the smallest number that is a multiple of both 15 and 33. To find the LCM, you can first find the prime factorization of each number: 15 = 3 x 5 and 33 = 3 x 11. Then, you can multiply the highest power of each prime factor to get the LCM, which is 3 x 5 x 11 = 165. Therefore, the LCM of 15 and 33 is 165.
