If the HCF of (132) and (220) is (44), what will be the power of (5) in their LCM?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (1)
Step 1: (132=2^2\times3\times11) and (220=2^2\times5\times11). Step 2: (5) appears only in the second number as (5^1), so its power in the LCM is (1). Step 3: A prime appearing in only one number is included in the LCM.
