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

I found the answer correct when I tried to divide each of the options by 21, 36, 66. And only opt. A was found to divide with all three without any fraction.

Is it the write method ?

2/21,36,66

2/21.18,33

3/21,9,33

3/7,3,11

/7,1,11

So L.C.M : 2*2*3*3*7*11 = 2772.

LCM = 2772

REQ TO MULTI 2772*11*7 TO MAKE PERFECT SQR

= 2772*77=213444

How can 22*32*72*112 = 213444 this is done in less than 10 sec?

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

It is very difficult to divide all the options with the given numbers. It will take more time it is better to go to the LCM/HCF methods. Its very simple that multiplying 7 and 11 to make all the number a perfect square and multiply all the numbers we will get answers.

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.
