the least common multiple of a positive integer n and 18 is 180, and the greatest common divisor of n and 45 is 15. what is the sum of the digits of n?

Respuesta :

The sum of the digits of n is 12.

Given data;

The greatest common divisor of n and 45 is 15, whereas the least common multiple of n and 18 is 180.

To get the sum of the digits of n;

Let,

LCM (n, 18) = 180

GCD (n, 45) = 15

(I) LCM (n, 18) = 180 = n must be the divisor of 180

Divisors of 180 ⇒ 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 18, 180

As 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18 are divisors of 18.

The smallest n is 9.

(II) GCD (n, 45) = 15 = n has a factor of 3 and 5

So, n = 3

Therefore, the sum of the digits of n is 12.
