Problem
Let 
be the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of 
and has exactly positive integral divisors, including 
and itself. Find 
.
Solution
The prime factorization of 
. For 
to have exactly 
integral divisors, we need to have 
such that 
. Since 
, two of the prime factors must be 
and 
. To minimize , we can introduce a third prime factor, 
. Also to minimize , we want , the greatest of all the factors, to be raised to the least power. Therefore, 
and 
.
