Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The LCM of the numbers is what we have to find first.
2 | 6,9,15,20
2 | 3,9,15,10
3 | 3,9,15,5
3 |1,3,5,5
5 |1,1,5,5
|1,1,1,1
So now multiply these numbers=2*2*3*3*5
=180
Because this is not a perfect square we will do prime factorization of the
number.
2 | 180
2 | 90
3 | 45
3 | 15
5 | 5
| 1
To get a perfect square we will now need pairs of factors.
As we can see that we don't have pair of 5 , so we will multiply 180 by 5.
180*5=3600
Therefore 3600 is the perfect square and the smallest perfect square exactly divisible by 6,9,15 and 20.
