If (A=2^2\times3\times5^3) and (B=2^5\times3^2\times5), which prime factor will have power (3) in the LCM?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (5)
Step 1: LCM uses the higher power of each prime. Step 2: The powers of (5) are (3) and (1), so (5^3) appears in the LCM. Step 3: Compare powers separately for each prime base.
