If (L) is the LCM of (2^3\times3^2) and (2^5\times3\times11), what will be the power of (11) in (L)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (1)
Step 1: LCM contains the highest power of every prime present. Step 2: (11) appears only in the second number as (11^1), so its power in (L) is (1). Step 3: A prime appearing in only one number is still included in the LCM.
