Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 144, 360, and 450.
Correct Answer: 3600
Subject: Mathematics
Explanation: Prime factorization of the numbers:
144 = 2⁴ × 3²
360 = 2³ × 3² × 5
450 = 2 × 3² × 5²
LCM is the product of the highest powers of all prime factors involved: LCM = 2⁴ × 3² × 5² = 16 × 9 × 25 = 3600.
