Mathematics Question on Square Roots

Find the smallest square number that is divisible by each of the numbers 4,94, 9, and 1010.

Answer

The number that will be perfectly divisible by each one of 4,94, 9, and 1010 is their LCM.
The LCM of these numbers is as follows.

24,9,10
22,9,5
31,9,5
31,3,5
51,1,5
1,1,1

LCM of 4,9,104, 9, 10 = 2×2×3×3×5=180\underline{2 × 2} × \underline{3 × 3} × 5 =180
Here, prime factor 55 does not have its pair.
Therefore, 180180 is not a perfect square.
If we multiply 180180 with 55, then the number will become a perfect square.
Therefore, 180180 should be multiplied with 55 to obtain a perfect square.

Hence, the required square number is 180×5=900180 \times 5 = 900
