- The following problem is from both the 2022 AMC 10A #7 and 2022 AMC 12A #4, so both problems redirect to this page.
Problem
The least common multiple of a positive integer 
and 
is 
, and the greatest common divisor of and 
is 
. What is the sum of the digits of ?
Solution
Note that
Let 
It follows that:
- From the least common multiple condition, we have
![\[\operatorname{lcm}(n,18) = \operatorname{lcm}(2^a\cdot3^b\cdot5^c,2\cdot3^2) = 2^{\max(a,1)}\cdot3^{\max(b,2)}\cdot5^{\max(c,0)} = 2^2\cdot3^2\cdot5,\]](//latex.artofproblemsolving.com/0/a/8/0a8b85578b0aaa3d09f855daf23059df7f690af7.png)
from which 
and 
- From the greatest common divisor condition, we have
![\[\gcd(n,45) = \gcd(2^2\cdot3^b\cdot5,3^2\cdot5) = 2^{\min(2,0)}\cdot3^{\min(b,2)}\cdot5^{\min(1,1)} = 3\cdot5,\]](//latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/0/7/4078791e2e129becb18f8794af14ff7fac594ec7.png)
