Question

Two positive integers a and b are written as a = x cube y squre and b=xy cube : x,y are prime numbers.Find LCM (a,b).

Answer 1

Answer:

x3y3 (x cube y cube)

Step-by-step explanation:

x3y2 = x*x*x*y*y

xy3 = x*y*y*y

Least common multiple

x*x*x = x3

y*y*y = y3

Answer 2

Answer:

LCM = $x^{3}$$y^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a = $x^{3}$$y^{2}$

b = $x$$y^{3}$

LCM = $x^{3}$$y^{3}$
