Question

Find the smallest number which is divisible by $85$ and $119$.

Answer 1

To find the smallest number which is divisible by 85 and 119, we have to take L. C. M. of $85$ and$119.$

Prime Factors of $85=5\times 17$

Prime Factors of $119=7\times 17$

So,

L. C. M. of$85$ and $119=5\times 7\times 17$

L. C. M. of $85$ and $119=595$

So,$595$ is the smallest number which is divisible by$85$ and$119.$
