☂︎ Answer :-

  • 8100

☂︎ Solution :-

  • LCM of 5 , 18 , 25 and 27 = 2 × 3³ × 5²
  • 2 and 3 have odd powers . To get a perfect square, we need to make the powers of 2 and 3 even . The powers of 5 is already even .

In other words , the LCM of 5 , 18 , 25 and 27 can be made a perfect square if it is multiplied by 2 × 3 .

The least perfect square greater that the LCM ,

☞︎︎︎ 2 × 3³ × 5² × 2 × 3

☞︎︎︎ 2² × 3⁴ × 5²

☞︎︎︎ 4 × 81 × 85

☞︎︎︎ 100 × 81

☞︎︎︎ 8100

8100 is the least perfect square which is exactly divisible by each of the numbers 5 , 18 , 25 , 27 .
