Find the greatest 5 digit number that is exactly divisible by 22,25 and 30


Given :

Numbers 22,25 and 30

To find :

The greatest 5 digit number which is exactly divisible by 22,25 and 30

Solution :


If a number is divisible 22,25 and 30, then it must be a multiple for these numbers.

Let us find the smallest number which is divisible by 22,25 and 30. This is nothing but LCM of 22,25 and 30.

LCM of 22, 25 and 30
2222530
5112515
31153
111151
5151
111

$2 \times 5 \times 3 \times 11 \times 5 = 1650$

So LCM is 1650.

The required number should be a multiple of 1650. It is also the smallest 5 digit number which is a multiple of 1650.

If we divide 10000 with 1650, we get a reminder of 100.

So 9900 is a multiple of 1650.

9900+ 1650 = 11550.

11550 is smallest 5 digit number which is multiple of 1650.

So, answer is 11550.
