What is the smallest number exactly divisible by (54), (72), and (90)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (1080)
Step 1: The smallest number exactly divisible by all given numbers is their LCM. Step 2: (54=2\times3^3), (72=2^3\times3^2), and (90=2\times3^2\times5), so LCM (=2^3\times3^3\times5=1080). Step 3: Choose the highest powers carefully.
