The LCM of numbers 8, 10 and 12 is 120.
Going deeper into the LCM process, factorizing 8, 10 and 12, we get
8=2∗2∗28=2∗2∗2
10=2∗510=2∗5
12=2∗2∗312=2∗2∗3
So the LCM of these numbers would be 2∗2∗2∗3∗5=1202∗2∗2∗3∗5=120
Now, the square of any number would be a product of an even number of numbers. And here we have 2 repeated thrice, 3 and 5 repeated once each. So we need 2 repeated 4 times, 3 and 5 repeated twice each (to get the higher even number than we already have).
Therefore, we get 2∗2∗2∗2∗3∗3∗5∗5=36002∗2∗2∗2∗3∗3∗5∗5=3600
