If two positive integers p and q can be expressed as p = ab2 and q = a3b; where a, b being prime numbers, them LCM (p, q) is equal toA. abB. a2b2C. a3b2D. a3b3 |
Answer» C. a3b2 Let p = ab2 = a × b × b And q = a3b = a × a × a × b ⇒ LCM of p and q = LCM (ab2, a3b) = a × b × b × a × a = a3b2 [Since, LCM is the product of the greatest power of each prime factor involved in the number] |
