Mathematics Question on Some Problems on HCF and LCM

Find the smallest number that is divisible by each of 8, 9, and 10.

Answer

The smallest number divisible by multiple numbers is their LCM. Calculate:
PrimeFactorizations:8=23,9=32,10=25Prime Factorizations: 8 = 2^3, \, 9 = 3^2, \, 10 = 2 \cdot 5
LCM=23325=360LCM = 2^3 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 5 = 360
Thus, the smallest number divisible by 8, 9, and 10 is 360.
