Answer:

m = 1

Explanation:

A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is a multiple of 3

the given number is 2m234 and we are asked to find the smallest m

Adding up known digits gives 2 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 11

The next multiple of 3 is 12

So 11 + m = 12

m = 1

The other possibilities are
m = 4, m = 7
