Question

If two positive integers a and b are expressible in the form a = pq² and b = p³ q; p, q being prime numbers, then LCM (a, b) is
A. pq
B. p³ q³
C. p³ q²
D. p² q²

Answer 1

C. p³ q²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  

a = pq² = p * q * q

b = p³q = p * p * p * q  

where p and q are prime numbers.

So LCM (a, b) = p * p * p * q * q = p³q²

Option C is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

P^3q^2 is the answer
