Question

Q5.
numbers, then LCM (P. 9) is
If two positive integers p and q can be expressed as p= ab2 and q=ab; a, b being prime
a) ab
b) a-b-
c) ab?
d) a b​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, p = ab2 = a × b × b

and q = a3b = a × a × a × b

∴ LCM of p and q = LCM (ab2,a3b) = a × b × b × a × a = a3b2

[Since, LCM is the product of the greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers].

answer is a3b2
