no because both 2o15 and 30 are divisible by 3

Since $2015=5 \cdot 13 \cdot 31$, we know $2015$ has $(1+1)(1+1)(1+1)=8$ positive divisors. To create a number $n$ with 8 divisors, we have a few choices for its prime factorization. If $n$ is divisible by only one prime, it must look like $p^7$. With two primes, $n$ will have the form $p^3q$, and with three primes, $n$ must be of the form $pqr$, where $p$,$q$, and $r$ are distinct primes.

Now, we try to make each of these factorizations as small as possible while forcing some overlap with the factorization of $2015$. This will ensure that our new number is not relatively prime with 2015, or $\mathrm{gcd}(n,2015)>1$. Since $2015$ involves the primes $5$, $13$, and $31$, our new number should involve the prime $5$. To maintain minimality, we will use $2$ and $3$ if additional primes are needed. Remember, though, that $5$ must appear somewhere in the factorization!

Making these substitutions, we have $p^7=5^7=78125$, $p^3q=2^3 \cdot 5=40$, and $pqr=2 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 = 30$. So, the minimal choice is $\boxed{30}$.
