LCM of 8,15, and 20=2×2––––––×2×3×5=120
Here, prime factors 2,3, and 5 do not have their respective pairs. Therefore, 120 is not a perfect square.
Therefore, 120 should be multiplied by 2×3×5, i.e. 30, to obtain a perfect square.
Hence, the required square number is 120×2×3×5=3600, which is divisible by each of the numbers 8,15, and 20.
