The least perfect square number which is divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 is

The least perfect square number which is divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 is
A900
B1600
C2500
D3600

correct answer is: 3600
Explanation: To find the least perfect square divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8, we first determine the least common multiple (LCM) of these numbers. The prime factorizations are: - 3 = 31 - 4 = 22 - 5 = 51 - 6 = 21×31 - 8 = 23 The LCM is obtained by taking the highest powers of all primes: - 23 - 31 - 51 Thus, LCM = 23×31×51=120. To make this a perfect square, all exponents in its prime factorization must be even. Therefore, we multiply by 21×31×51 to get: - 24×32×52=3600. This is the smallest perfect square divisible by all the given numbers.

  • Option a (900): Not divisible by 8 (23).
  • Option b (1600): Not divisible by 3 or 6.
  • Option c (2500): Not divisible by 3, 6, or 8.
  • Option d (3600): Divisible by all and is a perfect square.
