What is the least square number which is exactly divisible by each of these numbers 6, 9, 15, and 20?
Given: Numbers = 6, 9, 15 and 20.
To do: To find the least square number which is exactly divisible by each of these numbers 6, 9, 15, and 20.
Solution:
The smallest number divisible by 6, 9, 15 and 20 can be their L.C.M. which is 180
On resolving the L.C.M. as prime factors we get, $180= 2\times2\times3\times3\times5$
To make it a perfect square number we will multiply it by 5 then it becomes,
$\Rightarrow 180\times5 =2\times2\times3\times3\times5\times5 =900$
Thus, the least square number which is exactly divisible by 6, 9, 15 and 20 is 900.
