a) 99960.
b) 99660.
c) 96660.
d) 100380.
correct answer is: a) 99960.
Explanation
1st we need to find the LCM of 2,3,4,5,6 and 7.
So that, the LCM of 2,3,4,5,6 and 7 is:
\rightarrow 2\times2\times3\times5\times7=420
Now we divide 100000 by the LCM of 420.
\rightarrow\left(100000\div420\right) = 238 quotient and 40 remainder.
Now, \left(100000-40\right)=99960
\therefore 99960 is the one nearer to 100000 which is exactly divisible by 2,3,4,5,6 and 7.
And 100000+\left(420-40\right)=100000+380
\rightarrow 100380
\therefore 100380 is the another nearer to 100000 which is exactly divisible by 2,3,4,5,6 and 7.
So that, between these two number 99960 is nearer to 100000.
\therefore 99960 is the required nearer number which is exactly divisible by 2,3,4,5,6 and 7.
Ans: 99960.
