Question

The LCM of 82×638^2×6^3​ and 46×934^6×9^3​ is:

A.

212×332^{12}×3^3​​

B.

29×332^9×3^3​​

C.

212×362^{12}×3^6​​

D.

29×362^9×3^6​​

Correct option is C

Given:

We are to find the LCM of:

82×638^2 \times 6^3​​

46×934^6 \times 9^3​​

Solution:
Prime factorizations:

8=238 = 2^3

82=268^2 = 2^6​​

6=2×36 = 2 \times 3

63=23×336^3 = 2^3 \times 3^3​​
82×63=26×23×33=29×338^2 \times 6^3 = 2^6 \times 2^3 \times 3^3 = 2^9 \times 3^3​​

4=224 = 2^2

46=2124^6 = 2^{12}​​

9=329 = 3^2

93=369^3 = 3^6​​
So, 46×93=212×364^6 \times 9^3 = 2^{12} \times 3^6​​

Now,

LCM=Highest powers of all primes=2max(9,12)×3max(3,6)=212×36\text{LCM} = \text{Highest powers of all primes} = 2^{\max(9,12)} \times 3^{\max(3,6)} = 2^{12} \times 3^6
