Let x be the least number divisible by 16, 24, 30, 36 and 45, and x is also a perfect square. What is the remainder when x is divided by 123?
Prime factors of :
16 = $$2^4$$
24 = $$2^3\times3$$
30 = $$2\times3\times5$$
36 = $$2^2\times3^2$$
45 = $$3^2\times5$$
Thus, L.C.M. (16, 24, 30, 36 and 45) = $$x=2^4\times3^2\times5$$
Since, $$x$$ is also a perfect square, we need to multiply it by 5 (since it has odd power) = $$2^4\times3^2\times5^2$$
=> $$x=3600$$
Now, when 3600 is divided by 123, => $$3600=123\times29+33$$
Thus, remainder =Â 33
