    Question

    The smallest natural number which is divisible by 33, 6, 8 and 16 is:

    A.

    500

    B.

    550

    C.

    502

    D.

    528

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Smallest natural number divisible by 33, 6, 8, and 16:

    Concept Used:

    Least Common Multiple (LCM)

    The smallest natural number divisible by a set of numbers is their Least Common Multiple (LCM).

    Solution:

    Prime Factorization: Find the prime factorization of each number:

    33 = 3 ×\times​ 11

    6 = 2×\times3​

    8 =23 2^3​​

    16 = 242^4​​

    ​Multiply the highest powers of the prime factors together:

    LCM = 24×31×1112^4 × 3^1×11^1 ​= 16 ×\times3×\times11 = 528​​​​

    Therefore, the smallest natural number divisible by 33, 6, 8, and 16 is 528.

    Option (d) is right.
