Question

If p and q are two prime numbers, then what is their LCM?

Answer 1

Answer:

their LCM is p X q

Step-by-step explanation:

because p and q are the prime numbers.

Answer 2

since p and q are prime numbers,

Case I)

the factors of–

p are p and 1

and

q are q and 1

Hence, their H.C.F. is 1

and

L.C.M. = H.C.F. x product of remaining factors

= 1 x p x q

= pq

Case II)

if p = q

L.C.M. = p = q
