If (A=2^2\times5^3) and (B=2^4\times3^2\times5), how many factors will the LCM of (A) and (B) have?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (45)
Step 1: LCM takes the highest exponent of every prime factor. Step 2: LCM (=2^4\times3^2\times5^3). Total factors (=(4+1)(2+1)(3+1)=5\times3\times4=60). Step 3: After finding the LCM, apply the factor-count rule.
