The least perfect square, which is divisible by each of 21, 36 and 66 is:
213444
214344
214434
231444
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

Take LCM for 21, 36 and 66 we get 2*2*3*3*7*11 = 2772,

2 and 3 are came 2 times we will get perfect square so multiply this term with 7*11 so we get 2*2*3*3*7*7*11*11 = 213444.

The lcm of 21,36,66=2772

I have a simple method.

213444is divisible by 21 comes 10164
and 36 to comes 5929
and 6 to comes 3234

So finaly it is divisible by 3 numbers.

3/21,36,66
2/7,12,22
7,6,11
so l.c.m=3*2*7*6*11
=3^2*2^2*7*11
to make perfect square we have to multiply with 7 and 11the it turns
=3^2*2^2*7^2*11^2

I think according to maths rule 7 & 11 must be multiplied on both ends.

Hence 2^2*3^2*7*11*(7*11) = 2772*7*11.

= 2^2*3^2*7^2*11^2 = 213444.

Since 213444 is divisible by all of the three number i.e. 21, 36, 66 so its the answer. We don't even have to see the second option.

21 is having a factor as 7 and 3.
So check each option whether it is divisible by 7 or not.
So option a is only divisible by 7.

2x2x3x3x7x11 = 2772.

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

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.

21 36 66 are divisible by 3.

Now check the options. And then find the least no. Which is also divisible by 3.
