The correct Answer is:
To find the least possible perfect square number which is exactly divisible by 6, 40, 49, and 75, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Prime Factorization of Each Number First, we will perform the prime factorization of each of the numbers: - **6** can be factored as: \( 6 = 2^1 \times 3^1 \) - **40** can be factored as: \( 40 = 2^3 \times 5^1 \) - **49** can be factored as: \( 49 = 7^2 \) - **75** can be factored as: \( 75 = 3^1 \times 5^2 \) ### Step 2: Finding the LCM Next, we will find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of these numbers by taking the highest power of each prime factor that appears in the factorizations: - For \(2\): The highest power is \(2^3\) (from 40). - For \(3\): The highest power is \(3^1\) (from both 6 and 75). - For \(5\): The highest power is \(5^2\) (from 75). - For \(7\): The highest power is \(7^2\) (from 49). Thus, the LCM can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{LCM} = 2^3 \times 3^1 \times 5^2 \times 7^2 \] ### Step 3: Calculating the LCM Now, we will compute the LCM: \[ \text{LCM} = 8 \times 3 \times 25 \times 49 \] Calculating step-by-step: - \(8 \times 3 = 24\) - \(24 \times 25 = 600\) - \(600 \times 49 = 29400\) So, the LCM of 6, 40, 49, and 75 is \(29400\). ### Step 4: Ensuring the Result is a Perfect Square Now, we need to ensure that this LCM is a perfect square. A number is a perfect square if all the exponents in its prime factorization are even. The prime factorization of \(29400\) is: \[ 29400 = 2^3 \times 3^1 \times 5^2 \times 7^2 \] Here, the exponents are: - \(2^3\) (odd) - \(3^1\) (odd) - \(5^2\) (even) - \(7^2\) (even) To make all the exponents even, we need to multiply by: - \(2^{1}\) (to make \(2^3\) into \(2^4\)) - \(3^{1}\) (to make \(3^1\) into \(3^2\)) Thus, we need to multiply \(29400\) by \(2^1 \times 3^1 = 6\). ### Step 5: Calculate the Perfect Square Now, we compute: \[ \text{Perfect Square} = 29400 \times 6 = 176400 \] ### Conclusion The least possible perfect square number which is exactly divisible by 6, 40, 49, and 75 is: \[ \boxed{176400} \]
