\(k = m^2\)
\(20 = (2^2)(5)\)
\(24 = (2^3)(3)\)

I. \(m^2\) is divisible by 20
i.e. \(m^2\) must have at-least two 2s and one 5

II. \(m^2\) is divisible by 24
i.e. \(m^2\) must have at-least three 2s and one 3

This means, \(m^2\) must have at-least three 2s, one 3 and one 5 in it!

Since, \(k\) is a perfect square here, each prime factor must have even power
i.e. \(k = (2^4)(3^2)(5^2) = 3600\)
_________________

am sorry to ask this , how can we confirm it as perfect square ? and one more question is why dont we can have (2^2)(3^2)(5^2)

Since, The integer 𝑘 is equal to \(𝑚^2\) for some integer 𝑚.
A perfect square is a number that can be expressed as the product of two equal integers. This is why 𝑘 must be a perfect square.

If we take 𝑘 as \((2^2)(3^2)(5^2) = 900\), it is not divisible by 24
\(\frac{900}{24} = 37.5\) not an integer
