Question

If two positive integers p and q can be expressed as p = ab2 and q = a'b; a, b being prime numbers, then
LCM (p, q) is​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question we have to find the L.C.M(p,q) is equal to

Given that, p=ab^2 =a×b×b

q=a^3b=a×a×a× b

so, L.C.M of p and q=LCM(ab^2,a^3b)=a×b×b=a×a=a^3b^2

(Since, L.C.M is the product of the greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers). make it as brainlist .
