Perfect Square : A number when written as product of prime factors , if each prime factor has even number as its power , then the number is perfect square. Writing the given number as product of prime factors 6 = 2 x 3 12 = 2³ x 3 18 = 2 x 3² 24= 2³ x 3 LCM = 2³ x 3² = 72 But 72 is not the perfect square. But multiples of 72 are also exactly divisible by given numbers. 72 x 2 =144 is the perfect square.
To express any fraction in simple (small form), we have to find the HCF of numerator and denominator. 1095)1168(1 1095 73)1095(15 1095 ——— 0 HCF of 1095 and 1168 is 73Therefore (1168/73)/(1095/73) = 16/15
