    Question

    The least number which should be added to 6424 so that the sum is exactly divisible by 8, 9 and 12 is:

    A.

    56

    B.

    26

    C.

    46

    D.

    36

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    Number = 6424

    Divisors = 8, 9, 12

    Solution:

    Prime factors:

      8 = 2 × 2 × 2

      9 = 3 × 3

      12 = 2 × 2 × 3

      LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 72

      6424 ÷ 72 = 89 remainder 16

      Least number to be added = 72 – 16 = 56

      Required number = 56
