To find: this let us first find the LCM of each number
We get
The LCM of 12=2 x 2 x 3
The LCM of 16=2 x 2 x 2 x 2
The LCM of 20=2 x 2 x 5
The LCM of 12, 16, 20=240
We know that the smallest 5 digit number as 10000
So the number which is divisible by all the given numbers must be closer to 10000
Hence let us divide 10000 by 240
That is 10000/240
We get 41.666…. = a recurring number
=42
So 240 x 42
=10080
