Find the least number which is a perfect square and also divisible by 6,15,12 |
|
Answer» Answer: The LCM of 6, 15, and 12 is 2×3×5×2 = 60. prime factorisation of 60 is 60= 2×2 ×3×5. we see that prime factors 3 and 5 are not in pairs. Therefore 60 is not a perfect SQUARE. In order to get a perfect square, each FACTOR of 60 must be paired. So we NEED to make pairs of 3 and 5 . Therefore, 60 should be multiplied by 3×5,i.e., 15 . Hence, the REQUIRED square number is 60×15 = 900. |
