Let ζ m \zeta_m be a primitive m th m^\text{th} root of unity, and let ζ n \zeta_n be a primitive n th n^\text{th} root of unity. Then ζ m ζ n \zeta_m\zeta_n is a primitive th \ell^\text{th} root of unity for some positive integer . \ell.

What can we say about \ell in general?

Clarification: In the answer choices, gcd ( ) \gcd(\cdot) and lcm ( ) \text{lcm}(\cdot) denotes the greatest common divisor function and the lowest common multiple function.\

= lcm ( m , n ) \ell = \text{lcm}(m,n) None of these choices = gcd ( m , n ) \ell = \gcd(m,n) = m n \ell = mn
