Worked solution

12(a)

1. Find the cube root of $q$ from its prime factorisation.

Given q=26×33q=2^6\times 3^3,

q3=26×333=26÷3×33÷3=22×3=4×3=12\sqrt[3]{q}=\sqrt[3]{2^6\times 3^3}=2^{6\div 3}\times 3^{3\div 3}=2^2\times 3=4\times 3=12.

Answer

1212

12(b)

1. Select the highest power of each prime factor appearing in $p$, $q$ and $r$.

p=22×3×5p=2^2\times3\times5

q=26×33q=2^6\times3^3

r=22×32×11r=2^2\times3^2\times11

Highest powers: 262^6, 333^3, 55 and 1111.

So the LCM is
26×33×5×112^6\times3^3\times5\times11.

Answer

26×33×5×112^6 \times 3^3 \times 5 \times 11

12(c)

1. Find the greatest common divisor of $p$, $q$ and $r$ from their prime factorisations.

Common prime factors are 22 and 33.

Take the smallest powers:
22×3=4×3=122^2 \times 3 = 4 \times 3 = 12

So the greatest number that divides pp, qq and rr exactly is 1212.
