• Choice B

    Prime factors of 15=3×515 = 3 × 5

    Prime factors of 20=22×520 = 2^2 × 5

    Prime factors of 8=238 = 2^3

    Using exponents instead, multiply together each of the prime numbers with the highest power to find the LCM

    23×31×51=1202^3 × 3^1 × 5^1 = 120

    So LCM(15,20,8) = 120
