The least perfect square, which is divisible by each of 21, 36 and 66 is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
L.C.M. of 21, 36, 66 = 2772.
Now, 2772 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 11
To make it a perfect square, it must be multiplied by 7 x 11.
So, required number = 22 x 32 x 72 x 112 = 213444

2x2x3x3x7x11 = 2772.
Here all are pair numbers but 7 & 11 are single numbers that's why we multiple by 7 & 11 again.

Example:
3, 9, 21.
Solution: List the prime factors of each.
3:3.
9:3 x 3.
21:3 x 7.
Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in any of the numbers. 9 has two 3's, and 21 has one 7.
So we multiply 3 two times, and 7 once. This gives us 63, the smallest number that can be divided evenly by 3, 9, and 21.
We check our work by verifying that 63 can be divided evenly by 3, 9, and 21.

For LCM 21, 36 & 66:
3/21 36 66.
2/7 12 22.
3/7. 6. 11.
2/7. 2. 11.
7. 1. 11.
3 x 3 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 11 = 213444.
3/21 36 66.
2/7 12 22.
3/7. 6. 11.
2/7. 2. 11.
7. 1. 11.
3 x 3 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 11 = 213444.

How to sole this step 2772 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 11?

L.C.M: 21, 36, 66 then we have, 2*2*3*3*7*11.
Now square all these term.
Eg: 4*4*9*9*49*121 = 213444.
Now square all these term.
Eg: 4*4*9*9*49*121 = 213444.

Simply a no is divided by some other nos that nos factor must be divided that no.

21 = 3*7.
36 = 3*3*2*2.
66 = 11*3*2.
Means our must be divisible by 2, 3, 7, 11.
**All numbers are evens, so 2 is satisfied.
***3 is common factor for 21, 36, 66 so it is also satisfied.
So you have to check for 7 and 11.
i.e 213444.
36 = 3*3*2*2.
66 = 11*3*2.
Means our must be divisible by 2, 3, 7, 11.
**All numbers are evens, so 2 is satisfied.
***3 is common factor for 21, 36, 66 so it is also satisfied.
So you have to check for 7 and 11.
i.e 213444.
