    Answer:

    20

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find the least number of leafs that each collection must have, we find the L.C.M of both numbers. So L.C.M of 4 and 5.

    The prime factors of 4 = 2²

    The prime factors of 5 = 5

    So L.C.M of 4 and 5 = 2² × 5 = 20

    So, the least number of leafs that each collection can have is 20 leafs.
