Answer:

360

Explanation:

You will need 2 * 2 * 2 for the smallest number to be divisible by 8 with all the others.

You will need 3 * 3 for the smallest number to be divisible by 9 with all the others.

Finally you will need 1 five

The smallest number divisible by all of these is 2*2*2*3*3*5 = 360

  • 360/2 = 180 works
  • 360/3 = 120 works
  • 360/5 = 72 works
  • 360/6 = 60 works
  • 360/8 = 45 works
  • 360/9 = 40 works.

There is no smaller number below 360 which will work.
