H.C.F of 3240, 3600 and a third number is 36 and their L.C.M is 24 * 35 * 52 * 72. The third number is___________?

H.C.F of 3240, 3600 and a third number is 36 and their L.C.M is 24 * 35 * 52 * 72. The third number is___________?

A. 22 * 35 * 72
B. 22 * 53 * 72
C. 25 * 52 * 72
D. 23 * 35 * 72
Explanation:
3240 = 23 * 34 * 5; 3600 = 24 * 32 * 52
H.C.F = 36 = 22 * 32
Since H.C.F is the product of lowest powers of common factors, so the third number must have (22 * 32 ) as its factor.
Since L.C.M is the product of highest powers of common prime factors, so the third number must have 35 and 72 as its factors.
Third number = 22 * 35 * 72
