Least common multiple: factor them, then see what they have in common and what is leftover and multiply those expressions:

(x - 2)(x + 3)          10(x + 3)(x + 3)
Common: (x + 3)
Leftover: (x - 2), (10), (x + 3)
Common · Leftover is: (x + 3) · (x - 2) · (10) · (x + 3) = 10(x - 2)(x + 3)²

Answer: LCM is 10(x - 2)(x + 3)²
