What is the LCM of $\sqrt[2]{169}$, $\sqrt[3]{27}$, $\sqrt[3]{64}$ and $\sqrt[2]{144}$ ?

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
156

Calculate Roots First

First, simplify each radical term:

  • The square root of 169 is 13: $\sqrt[2]{169} = 13$
  • The cube root of 27 is 3: $\sqrt[3]{27} = 3$
  • The cube root of 64 is 4: $\sqrt[3]{64} = 4$
  • The square root of 144 is 12: $\sqrt[2]{144} = 12$

Find LCM of Simplified Numbers

Now, find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the resulting integers: 13, 3, 4, and 12.

Use the prime factorization method for LCM:

  • Prime factors of 13: 13
  • Prime factors of 3: 3
  • Prime factors of 4: $2 \times 2 = 2^2$
  • Prime factors of 12: $2 \times 2 \times 3 = 2^2 \times 3$

Calculate the LCM Value

To find the LCM, take the highest power of each prime factor present in the numbers:

LCM = $13^1 \times 3^1 \times 2^2$

LCM = $13 \times 3 \times 4$

LCM = $13 \times 12$

LCM = 156

The LCM of the given radical terms is 156.
