Question Find the smallest three digit number exactly divisible by 6,8 and 12.
Answer 24. the easiest way to get the answer is to break down the numbers into their lowest multiples.
6 = 2x3
8= 2x2x2
12 = 2x2x3
now you take the lowest amount of numbers you can. You need 2x2x2 for the 8, but then you've covered the 2 and 2x2 in the 6 and 12. Then you also need a 3. So you're answer is 2x2x2x3=24
