Read Solution (Total 3)
-
- 2000*2001*k = (400*5)*(3*23*29)*k = 400*(5*2001)*k
hence 5*2001= 10005 is the smallest positive integer k such that (2000)(2001)k is a perfect square . - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- k=2000*2001=4002000
let k=xy such that 2000*x=2001*y then x/y=2001/2000 which can't be further simplified - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(4)
- K=1005
2000=400*5=20^2*5
2001=3*667
3,5,667 ARE PRIME NUMBERS .SO WE SHOULD MULTIPLY WITH 3*667*5=10005
=>K=10005 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
