2024/037) How do I find some natural number a, such that 2a is a perfect square, 3a is a perfect cube, 5a is the fifth power of some natural number?

 The number is of the form 2^x3^y5^zm^{30} because the it has 2 ,3 and 5 as factors and  m^{30} is a 30^{th} power because it is a square, cibe and fith power so multiplying by this shall satisfy the criteria.

2^{x+1} has to be perfect square and 2^{x} is a  perfect cube and a  fifth power.

so x+1 \equiv 0 \pmod 2\cdots(1)

x \equiv 0 \pmod 3\cdots(2)

x \equiv 0 \pmod 5\cdots(3)

we can solve the same by chinese remainder theorem but   we use a short method

From (2) and (3)

x \equiv 0 \pmod {15} \cdots(4)

from (1) and (4) we have checking multiple of 15 that is 0 and 15

x \equiv 15 \pmod {30} \cdots(5)

similarly we evaluate y

 3^{y+1} has to be perfect cube and 3^{x} is a  perfect square and a  fifth power.

so y+1 \equiv 0 \pmod 3\cdots(6)

y \equiv 0 \pmod 2\cdots(7)

y \equiv 0 \pmod 5\cdots(8)

From (7) and (8)

y \equiv 0 \pmod {10} \cdots(9)

from (6) and (9) we have checking mutiple of 10 that is 0,10,20

y \equiv 20 \pmod {30} \cdots(10)

 similarly we evaluate z

 5^{z+1} has to be perfect fifth cube and 5^{x} is a  perfect square and a  perfect cube.

so z+1 \equiv 0 \pmod 5\cdots(11)

z \equiv 0 \pmod 2\cdots(12)

z \equiv 0 \pmod 3\cdots(13)

From (12) and (13)

z \equiv 0 \pmod {6} \cdots(14)

from (11) and (14) we have checking mutiple of 6 that is 0,6,12,18,24

z \equiv 24 \pmod {30} \cdots(10)

we can take principal vaues and get

a=2^{15}3^{20}5^{24}m^{30}
