Smallest number divisible by 18,24,32
Factors of 18=2×3×3
Factors of 20=2×2×5
Factors of 32=2×2×2×2×2
LCM=2×2×2×2×3×5=240
∴240 is the smallest number divisible by 18,20,32
Now, smallest 4 digit number=1000
1000=240×4+40
Remainder=40
But we need to find a number where the remainder is 0
Required number=1000+(240−40)=1000+200=1200
So,1200 is the smallest 4 digit number.
