If (H) is the HCF and (L) is the LCM of (2^6\times3^2\times5^2) and (2^4\times3^5\times5), what is (\frac{L}{H})?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (2^2\times3^3\times5)
Step 1: (H=2^4\times3^2\times5) and (L=2^6\times3^5\times5^2). Step 2: (\frac{L}{H}=2^{6-4}\times3^{5-2}\times5^{2-1}=2^2\times3^3\times5). Step 3: In division, subtract exponents of the same base.
