Answers
Answer:
The Smallest number exactly divisible by 6, 8 and 12
Let us determine the LCM of 6, 8, 1 2
Common Multiples of 6: 6,12,18,24,30,36,42…..
Common Multiples of 8: 8,16,24,32,40,48,54……
Common Multiples of 12: 12,24,36,48,60,72,…
We note that 2 4 is the least common multiple of 6,8 and 12
We have to find the smallest 3 -digit multiple of 24.
Also 24 × 4 = 96 and 24 ×5 = 120.
The smallest 3-digit number which is exactly divisible by 6,8 and 12 is 120.
SOLUTION
TO DETERMINE
The smallest 3 digit number divisible by 12 , 18 and 24
EVALUATION
Here the given numbers are 12 , 18 and 24
Now we find the LCM of the numbers
12 = 2 × 2 × 3
18 = 2 × 3 × 3
24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 72
Now
72 × 1 = 72
72 × 2 = 144
Hence the required smallest 3 digit number divisible by 12 , 18 and 24 is 144
