Given:

\(9 \div \left[ {8\frac{1}{5} - \left{ {1\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{3}{4} + \left( {6 - 3\frac{3}{5} + 1\frac{2}{3}} \right)} \right}} \right]\)

Concept Used:

Follow the BODMAS rule according to the table given below:

Calculation:

\(9 \div \left[ {8\frac{1}{5} - \left{ {1\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{3}{4} + \left( {6 - 3\frac{3}{5} + 1\frac{2}{3}} \right)} \right}} \right]\)

\( \Rightarrow 9 \div \left[ {\frac{{41}}{5} - \left{ {\frac{7}{4} \div ;\frac{3}{4} + \left( {6 - ;\frac{{18}}{5} + ;\frac{5}{3}} \right)} \right}} \right]\)

\( \Rightarrow 9 \div \left[ {\frac{{41}}{5} - \left{ {\frac{7}{4} \div ;\frac{3}{4} + \left( {\frac{{90; - ;54; + ;25}}{{15}}} \right)} \right}} \right]\)

\( \Rightarrow 9 \div \left[ {\frac{{41}}{5}; - \left{ {\frac{7}{4} \div ;\frac{3}{4} + ;\frac{{61}}{{15}}} \right}} \right]\)

\( \Rightarrow 9 \div \left[ {\frac{{41}}{5} - \left{ {\frac{7}{3} + ;\frac{{61}}{{15}}} \right}} \right]\)

\( \Rightarrow 9 \div \left[ {\frac{{41}}{5} - ;\frac{{32}}{5}} \right]\)

\( \Rightarrow 9 \div ;\frac{9}{5}\)

\( \Rightarrow 5;\)

∴ Value of \(9 \div \left[ {8\frac{1}{5} - \left{ {1\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{3}{4} + \left( {6 - 3\frac{3}{5} + 1\frac{2}{3}} \right)} \right}} \right]\) is 5

Given:

8, 24, 36, 54

Concept Used:

Least common multiple(LCM): The least number which is exactly divisible by each of the given numbers is called the least common multiple of those numbers.

Calculation:

8 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 2³

24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 2³ × 3¹

36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 2² × 3²

54 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 2¹ × 3³

Least common multiple of 8, 24, 36, 54 = 2³ × 3³ = 8 × 27

⇒ 216

∴ LCM of 8, 24, 36, 54 is 216
