\(x\) is a prime number and \(y\) is a positive integer. If \(x\) and \(y\) have only two common factors, what is the numerical value obtained when the least common multiple of \(x\) and \(y\) is divided by the greatest common divisor of \(x\) and \(y?\)

(1) \(y\) is divisible by \(4\) positive integers and has \(2\) prime factors, one of which is \(5.\)

(2) \(y\) is equal to \(3\) times the highest number that divides both \(x\) and \(y.\)
