Question
What is the least perfect square divisible by 8, 9 and 10?
Options :
A] 4000
B] 6400
C] 3600
D] 14641
Solution
The least perfect square divisible by 8, 9 and 10 is found by:
-
Prime factorizing the numbers:
- 8 = 2^3
- 9 = 3^2
- 10 = 2*5
-
Taking the highest power of each prime from the factorizations:
- For 2, the highest power is 3 (from 8)
- For 3, the highest power is 2 (from 9)
- For 5, the highest power is 1 (from 10)
-
Multiplying these together gives the least common multiple (LCM):
- LCM = 2^3 * 3^2 * 5 = 360
-
But we need the least perfect square, so each power in the prime factorization should be even. Currently, the power of 5 is odd. To make it even, we multiply by another 5, giving:
- LCM = 2^3 * 3^2 * 5^2 = 3600
So, the least perfect square divisible by 8, 9 and 10 is 3600. Therefore, the answer is C] 3600.
