Question

Write the smallest number which is divisible by both 306 and 657.

Answer 1

Answer:

The L.C.M of both numbers is 22338 it means the smallest number which is divisible by both 306 and 657 is 22338.

Step-by-step explanation:

The smallest number which is divisible by any two numbers is the L.C.M of both number. So, we have to find the L.C.M of 306 and 657.

The factors of both numbers are

$306=2\times 3\times 3\times 17$

$657=3\times 3\times 73$

The L.C.M of 306 and 657 is

$L.C.M.=2\times 3\times 3\times 17\times 73=22338$

Therefore the L.C.M of both numbers is 22338 it means the smallest number which is divisible by both 306 and 657 is 22338.
