Answer:

120

Explanation:

  • Common Multiples of 6: 6,12,18,24,30,36,42
  • Common Multiples of 8: 8,16,24,32,40,48,54
  • Common Multiples of 12: 12,24,36,48,60,72

We note that 2, 4 is the least common multiple of 6,8 and 12

We have to find the smallest 3 -digit multiple of 24.

Also 24 × 4 = 96 and 24 ×5 = 120.

The smallest 3-digit number which is exactly divisible by 6,8 and 12 is 120.
