    Question

    The least five-digit number which is exactly divisible by 9, 12 and 15 is:

    A.

    10050

    B.

    10060

    C.

    10090

    D.

    10080

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    We need the least five-digit number divisible by 9, 12, and 15.

    Solution:

    LCM(9, 12, 15)

    Prime factorizations:

    9 =32 3^2​​

    12 =22×3=2^2 \times 3​​

    15 =3×5 3 \times 5​​

    LCM =22×32×5=180 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 5 = 180​​

    Smallest 5-digit number divisible by 180

    Least 5-digit number = 10000

    Next integer=10000180=55.55 = \frac{10000}{180} = 55.55

    Next integer = 56

    180×56=10080180 \times 56 = 10080
