a ? i wanna kno originally posted by joemath314159.....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?

OpenStudy (radar):

Me too

OpenStudy (radar):

Someone answered 0. It is small, it does work./

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

it doesn't exist or its 0 sqrt(n/2) is never an integer for n>0

OpenStudy (radar):

Hey dumbcow that is true, so the only 0 could be the answer!

OpenStudy (radar):

Apparently that is not true. the answer is now posted on the original post and it is a very large number. sqrt (n/2) is never an integer is an erroneous assumption. \[\sqrt{18\over 2}\] is just one example.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is not 0 thanks oh smart one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 does not exist

OpenStudy (radar):

But you can feel it!!
