Answer:
9960
Step-by-step explanation:
Factorising:
8 = 2³
12 = 2² × 3
20 = 2² × 5
The LCM of 8, 12, 20 is 2³×3×5 = 120.
So the numbers exactly divisible by 8, 12 and 20 are precisely the multiples of 120. The problem can now be reworded as: Find the greatest 4-digit number that is a multiple of 120.
Since
10000/120 = 83.xxxxxx
the greatest 4-digit multiple of 120 is
120 × 83 = 9960.
