Question

if two positive integers a and b are written as a=x⁴y² and b=x²y³,where x and y are prime numbers,then lcm of a and b is​

Answer 1

Answer:

HCF by using the prime factorization method.

Step1:

Find the prime factorization of each of the number

Step2:

The product of all common prime factor is the HCF

Here,

⇒a=x×x×y×y

⇒b=x×y×y

common Factors are x×y×y

Thus ,
