Find the least square number which is exactly divisible by each of the numbers 8, 12, 15 and 20.

We know that,

The smallest number that is divisible by each o0f these numbers is their L.C.M


So,


L.C.M of 8, 12, 15, 20 = 120


Resolving into prime factors, we get


120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5


So, for making it a perfect square we have to multiply it by 2 × 3 × 5 = 30


Multiplying the number by 30, we get


Required number = 120 × 30


= 3600
