An operations manager is using the Prime Factors Method to find the smallest common multiple (LCM) of two different delivery schedules. After writing each schedule's length as a product of prime numbers and matching identical primes vertically in columns, what is the correct rule for selecting the factors to be multiplied?

A facility manager is using the Prime Factors Method to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) for two equipment maintenance cycles of 12 hours and 15 hours. True or False: According to this method, if a column in the vertical alignment of prime factors contains a prime factor that appears in the factorization of only one of these cycles, that prime factor should be omitted and not brought down for the final multiplication.
