interphase
Prophase is the longest stage of mitosis,lasting about 20 mn
Interphase is the longest phase
prophase is the longest of the four phases in mitosis
Metaphase is the longest phase of mitosis.

During metaphase the tension applied during the mitotic spindle fibres align all of the chromosomes along the metaphase plate ( an imaginary line that divides the cell into two).

This organization is necessary to ensure that the next phase when the chromosomes are separated each new nucleus will receive one copy of each chromosome.

What cell phase is the least common?

The M phase (mitosis) is the least common in the cell cycle, as cells spend most of their time in interphase, which includes G1, S, and G2 phases. The M phase involves cell division and is relatively short compared to the other phases.
