Question 1 / 90

If P is a prime number, then the LCM of P and its successive number would be:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e P(P + 1).

Let the prime number be P.

Its successive number is P + 1.

Since P is a prime number and P + 1 is consecutive to it, they have no common factors other than 1 (they are co-prime).

So,

LCM of P and P + 1 = P × (P + 1)
