i)
270 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 2 = 3³ x 5 x 2
2475 = 5² x 3² x 11
The LCM would be :
5² x 3³ x 11 x 2 = 14850
270 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 2 = 3³ x 5 x 2
2475 = 5² x 3² x 11
The LCM would be :
5² x 3³ x 11 x 2 = 14850
ii)
Greatest integer that will divide 2475 and 270 exactly is actually just the HCF
HCF = 3² x 5 = 9 x 5 = 45
Greatest integer that will divide 2475 and 270 exactly is actually just the HCF
HCF = 3² x 5 = 9 x 5 = 45
270 is a perfect square means :
3³ x 5 x 2 x n is a perfect square
The powers of all the prime factors should be even for it to be a perfect square.
3³ x 3 = 3⁴
5 x 5 = 5²
2 x 2 = 2²
So 270 can be 3⁴ x 5² x 2²
= (3² x 5 x 2) x (3² x 5 x 2)
= (3² x 5 x 2)²
= 90²
So n = 3 x 5 x 2 = 30
The question has not been phrased correctly. It should be asking for smallest value of n
3³ x 5 x 2 x n is a perfect square
The powers of all the prime factors should be even for it to be a perfect square.
3³ x 3 = 3⁴
5 x 5 = 5²
2 x 2 = 2²
So 270 can be 3⁴ x 5² x 2²
= (3² x 5 x 2) x (3² x 5 x 2)
= (3² x 5 x 2)²
= 90²
So n = 3 x 5 x 2 = 30
The question has not been phrased correctly. It should be asking for smallest value of n
