Answer:

  1800

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the least common multiple (LCM) of 72 and 150 given their prime factorizations:

  • 72 = 2³ × 3²
  • 150 = 2 × 3 × 5²

Least Common Multiple

The LCM is found as follows:

  1. Identify the unique prime factors (2, 3, 5)
  2. Identify the highest power of each (3, 2, 2)
  3. Raise those factors to those power to get the LCM

  LCM(72, 150) = 2³ × 3² × 5² = 1800
