The smallest four-digit number that is exactly divisible by each of 24, 40, and 56 is:
1680
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1680.
Step 1 – LCM: \(24 = 2^3 \times 3,\ 40 = 2^3 \times 5,\ 56 = 2^3 \times 7\). LCM \(= 2^3 \times 3 \times 5 \times 7 = 840\).
Step 2 – Smallest 4-digit multiple of 840: \(840 \times 2 = 1680\).
Hence option (3).
