Answer:

[tex]Amount = 17820[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Son = 324[/tex]

[tex]Daughter = 220[/tex]

Required [Missing piece]:

Least he can give each

To do this, we simply calculate the LCM of 324 and 220.

[tex]324:=> 2*2*3*3*3*3[/tex]

[tex]324:=> 2^2*3^4[/tex]

[tex]220:=>2 * 2*5*11[/tex]

[tex]220:=>2^2*5*11[/tex]

So, the LCM is:

[tex]LCM = 2^2 * 3^4 * 5 * 11[/tex]

[tex]LCM = 17820[/tex]

Hence, the least amount he can give each is: #17820
