If p is the prime number than the lcm of p and (p+1) is

Answer»

Answer:

p² + p

Step-by-step explanation:

if p is a prime number, it does not have any common factors with (p+1)

when 2 NUMBERS do not have a common FACTOR their lcm is their product

so the LCM = p·(p + 1) = p² + p

check: we can REPLACE p with some prime numbers

e.g

2 => lcm of  2 and 3 = 6  (2 · 3)

11=> lcm of 11 and 12 = 132 (11 · 12)
