The LCM of a set of prime numbers is their product.
The LCM of a set of numbers can be prime only if each one of the set is the same Prime number. Otherwise, being a MULTIPLE, it cannot be a prime.

The least common multiple (LCM) refers to a multiple that is COMMON to two or more numbers. If you have only one number - whether or not it is a prime - you cannot have a least COMMON multiple.
By finding their prime factors
The least common multiple of two primes x and y, is x * y.
You need at least two numbers to find an LCM.
Prime factorization.
5 and 7 are both prime numbers, so the least common multiple is 5*7=35
Prime factorization.
The least common multiple of 25 and 36 is 900. To find the least common multiple you first need to break the numbers down into their prime factors: 25 = 5x5 36 = 2x2x3x3 The next step would be to identify any common factors. In this case there are none. Thus we just multiply all the prime factors together to find the LCM: 2x2x3x3x5x5 = 900 Thus the least common multiple of 25 and 36 is 900.
Prime factorization helps to find the greatest common factor and the least common multiple which, in turn, help in the adding, subtracting and reducing of fractions.
You need at least to numbers to find a least common multiple.
To find the least common multiple of two numbers you first need to split them into their prime factors: 65 = 5x13 92 = 2x2x23 The next step would be to identify any common prime factors, but in this case there are none, so we simply take all the prime factors and multiply them together: 5x13x2x2x23 = 5,980 Thus the least common multiple of 65 and 92 is 5,980.
You need at least two numbers to find a least common multiple.
