All numbers divisible by both A and B are also divisible by which of the following?

ANSWER

  • wrong

A number is divisible by another number (a divisor) if its prime factorization contains the prime factorization of the divisor.

The prime factorization of A is getPrimeFactorization( A ).join( "\\times" ).

The prime factorization of B is getPrimeFactorization( B ).join( "\\times" ).

So, any number divisible by both must have LCM_FACTORIZATION.join( "\\times" ) as part of its prime factorization.

All numbers which divide such a number will have a factorization which is part of LCM_FACTORIZATION.join( "\\times" ).

The prime factorization of ANSWER is getPrimeFactorization( ANSWER ).join( "\\times" ).

Since getPrimeFactorization( ANSWER ).join( "\\times" ) is part of LCM_FACTORIZATION.join( "\\times" ), all numbers which are divisible by A and B are also divisible by ANSWER.
