60 can be divided by 4 (15)

60 can be divided by 5 (12)

and 60 is less than 200.

Answer:

Multiples of 60

Explanation:

If a a number finished with a 0, (unless it is 0) than it is divisible by 2 and 5.

If a number is divisible by 20 then it is divisible by 4. Finally if its divisible by 6 then it is by 3 too.

60 is the first number that satisfies all of the constraints and so does any of its multiples (up to 180 in this case)
