Open in App
Solution

The given numbers are 520 and 468
The smallest number which increased by 17 is exactly divisible by both 520 and 468 is obtained by subtracting from the L.C.M of 520 and 468.
Prime factorisation of 520=2×2×2×5×13
Prime factorisation of 468=2×2×3×3×13
L.C.M of 520 and 468.=2×2×2×5×3×3×13=4680
The smallest number which when increased by 17 is exactly divisible by 520 and 468
=468017
=4663
