Answer:

2,772

Explanation:

First we find the LCM (Least common multiple) of the given numbers.

2 | 22, 36, 42

2 | 11, 18, 21

3 | 11, 9, 21

3 | 11, 3, 7

7 | 11, 1, 7

11 | 11, 1. 1

| 1, 1, 1,

LCM of 22, 36, 42 = 2*2*3*3*7*11 = 2,772

Thus, the lowest number of four digits that can be divided by 22,36,and 42 is 2772.
