Question
Find the smallest 5-digit number which is exactly divisible by $20,25,30$.
✓
Answer
$20=1 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5=2^2 \times 5^1$
$25=1 \times 5 \times 5 \times 31=5^2$
$30=1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5=2^1 \times 3^1 \times 5^1$
LCM of 20,25 and $30=2^2 \times 3^1 \times 5^2=300$
Smallest five digit number is 10000
Now, if we divide 10000 by 60, we will get 33.33 as quotient.
The integer just greater than 33.33 is 34
$\therefore$ Required number $=300 \times 34=10200$
Hence, the smallest 5-digit number which is exactly divisible by $20,25,30$ is 10200.
