Question

determine the smallest 3 digit number which is exactly divisible by 6 8 and 12​

Answer 1

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

120/6 = 20

120/8= 15

120/12= 10

Answer 2

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the L.C.M of the three numbers:

L.C.M of 6, 8, 12

= 2×2×3×2

= 24.

Although this number is divisible by the three given numbers, we need a three-digit number. And the three digit number must be a multiple of 24.

So, divide 100/24 = 4.17 and go with the next higher multiple, 5.

Therefore, the answer is:

= 24 × 5

= 120.
