Open in App
Solution

Find the LCM of 12,15 and 18.

It will be 2×2×3×3×5=180.

The smallest 5 digit number is 10000;

Now find the multiple of 180 close to 10000.

By observation, 180×50 will be 9000 and 180×6=1080;

Adding both, I.e, 180×56=10080;

Just to check, 180×55=9900, is a 4 digit number.

So, 10080 is the smallest 5 digit number divisible by 12,15 and 18.
