Is it 12?

72=2^3 * 3^2

So n must have 2 2's and a 3

taking n = 12, n^2 = 144 which is divisible by 72
so, 12 is the largest no. thru which n divides.another eg doesnt satisfy
IMO B

Note you are not looking for n. You are looking for the largest positive integer that must divide n.

The smallest n = 12, so n^2 = 144, like you said. 144 is divisible by every answer choice. Since (e) is the greatest....

Note that 12 = 2*2*3, so 12^2 = 2*2*2*2*3*3.

72 = 6*6*2 = 3*3*2*2*2. You MUST have one more factor of 2 in order to get a perfect square (two 3s and four 2s).
