    Question

    Find the sum of digits of the biggest 6-digit number divisible by 14, 15, 16, 18 and 24.

    A.

    40

    B.

    36

    C.

    44

    D.

    48

    Correct option is B

    Given,

    The given numbers are 14, 15, 16, 18, and 24.

    Concept:

    LCM = Least common multiple

    Largest 6 digit number is 999999

    Solution:

    14 = 2 × 7

    15 = 3 × 5

    16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

    18 = 2 × 3 × 3

    24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

    => LCM of 14, 15, 16, 18 and 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 5040

    When we divide 999999 by 5040 we get as remainder 2079

    => Required number = 999999 – 2079 = 997920

    ∴ Sum of digit of 997920 = 9 + 9 + 7 + 9 + 2 + 0 = 36
