LCM of N1 and N2 is 100, then find the possible pairs of N1 and N2?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
LCM = 100
Prime factorization of 100 = 22 × 52
N = ax × by
Number of pairs = \(\frac{(2x \;+\; 1) (2y\; +\; 1) \;+\; 1}{2}\)
= \(\frac{(2 × 2 + 1) (2 × 2 + 1) + 1}{2}\) = \(\frac{26}{2}\) = 13
