Decompose each into prime factors.
20 = 2*2*5
25 = 5*5
30 = 2*3*5
Lowest common multiple is then
2*2*3*5*5 = 300
Now you need the lowest number so that
300 * N >= 10000
then
N >= 10000/300
N > 33.3…
Being N an integer, N has to be 34.
300 * 34 = 10200

★ Question ★
→ find the least 5 digit number which is exactly divisible by 20,25 and 30.
if the number is divisible by 20,25,30 it mean the product of the L,C,M.
so,
l.c.m of 20,25,30= 300
we know that smallest 5 digit number = 10,000
now,
10,000 is not completely divisible by 300 = 33.33
so,
check 10200 is completely divisible by 300
10,200÷300 = 34
again checking 10,200 is divisible by 20,25,and 30
10,200÷ 20 = 510
10,200÷25=408
10,200÷30 = 340
so,
The least 5 digit number ( 10,200 ) exactly divisible by 20,25 and 30.
