    Explanation

    The numbers that are perfectly divisible by all of 5, 6, 9, 15, 18 and 20 are their LCM and the multiples of the LCM. 5 = 5 6 = 2 × 3 9 = 3 × 3 15 = 3 × 5 18 = 2 × 3 × 3 20 = 2 × 2 × 5 ∴ LCM of 5, 6, 9, 15, 18, 20 = (2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5) = 180 ∴ smallest multiple of 180 which is a perfect square = (2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5) × 5 = 900 ∴ required number = 900
