    Question

    The least number which, when diminished by 9, is divisible by 13, 20, 10 and 23 is:

    A.

    5989

    B.

    6035

    C.

    6010

    D.

    6015

    Correct option is A

    Solution:

    The prime factorization of each number:
    13 = 13
    20=22×520 = 2^2 × 5​​
    10 = 2 × 5
    23 = 23
    The LCM is found by taking the highest powers of all primes involved:
    LCM=22×5×13×23LCM = 2^2 × 5 × 13 × 23​​
    Calculate the LCM
    LCM = 4 × 5 × 13 × 23
    LCM = 20 × 13 = 260
    LCM = 260 × 23 = 5980
    Find the Least Number
    The least number which, when diminished by 9, is divisible by 13, 20, 10, and 23, is:
    Least number = LCM + 9 = 5980 + 9 = 5989
    The least number is 5989.
