What is the smallest number exactly divisible by (64), (72), and (125)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (72000)
Step 1: The smallest number exactly divisible by all is the LCM. Step 2: (64=2^6), (72=2^3\times3^2), and (125=5^3), so LCM (=2^6\times3^2\times5^3=72000). Step 3: Keeping the highest powers correctly gives the right answer.
