The Common Factor

Here's an interesting question that didn't make it the magazine. It's not too hard, but it's got a nice twist.
A factor ring is a sequence of numbers arranged in a circle, with the property that each pair of adjacent numbers shares a common factor, and nonadjacent numbers do not share a common factor -- except, of course, for the number 1.
The original puzzle shows the factor ring: 14, 22, 33, 15, 35. Can you find another factor ring which has five completely different numbers, all of which are less than 60? Answer.
