here's a fun question I got a while ago: What is the smallest number "n" such that: n /2 is a perfect square n/3 is a perfect cube and n/5 is a perfect fifth power?
4/2=2 9/3=3 25/5=5
i think so
72
nah
a multiple of it but
a multiple that is diviisable by 5 I think
but im going to sleep , tired
are pagal ho gya hai kya
O.K. Joe, don't keep us in suspense here too long!
I found it
2^15*3^10*5^36
28156757354736328125000000000000000
Sadly, that's the smallest n
The smallest number is 0.
Bah, i should have said non-zero n, good job abtrehearn for catching that mistake Heromiles is the closest, he has the right idea, but the exponent for 5 can be smaller and still work. Here is a pdf of my solution
Thanks joemath(pi) now we can all get back to work lol.
