If 2 is added to the above number then the number will become 21 which is divisible by 3 and also, 2 is the smallest number that can fill the missing space.

Now, if 8 is added to the given number then the number will become 27 which is divisible by 3 and 8 is largest number that can make the given number divisible by 3.

Therefore, the smallest number will be 2 which will form 26724 and the largest number will be 8 forming 86724.
