Question

Find the greatest 5 digit number which exactly divide by 16, 56 and 120​

Answer 1

five-digitsinceStep-by-step explanation:

Ummm.....I have never done this before but I THINK what your supposed to do is find the lcm of all the pairs you can get from those 3 numbers.

so lcm(16,56)=112

lcm(56,120)=840

lcm(16,120)=240

Now take any number from this and take the lcm of that

lcm(112,840)=1680

that is the number if you take the lcm of any of them so it is the lcm of them all but it is not a number. so 16,56, and 120 are divisible by 2 I just multiplied 1680 by 2 until I got the highest possible 5 digit number which was 53760

Hope that helps :)

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

99120

Explanation:

The LCM of 16, 56, 120 can be found from their factors:

16 = 2^4

56 = 2^3 · 7

120 = 2^3 · 3 · 5

So, the least common multiple is 2^4×3×5×7 = 1680.

10^5/1680 = 59 r 880

The largest 5-digit number divisible by 16, 56, and 120 is 59×1680 = 99120.
