Question

If two positive integers p and q can be expressed as p = ab^2 and q = a^3 b;a,b being prime numbers, then find the HCF and LCM of p and q​

Answer 1

Answer:

a3b2

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of p=a×b×b

Factors of q=a×a×a×b

Therefore, L.C.M. of p and q is =a×b×b×a×a

                                                   =a3b2
