Question

The lcm of 5^3 and 5^2 is?

Answer 1

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because 5^2 *5 is 125 and 5^3 * 1 = 125   and the findings are both numbers have to be multiplied by a whole number to quantify a same identical multiple total number - we can check this by dividing by the smallest 125/5^2  = 5  and then the largest is 125/5^3 = 1 and we know there could not be a smaller whole number  - The other workings would be to do a prim e factor tree   of 125  =  5  25  5 and 5 =  5^3 and here we are told 5^3 is a multiple of 125 and 5^2 is also a multiple of 5^3 as it square fits 5 times into 125 as 5*25 is 125  

Answer 2

5³
