Answer» The LEAST number divisible by 8, 12 and 28 is LCM of these numbers i.e. 168. Clearly, any multiple of 168 would be EXACTLY divisible by each of the numbers 8, 12 and 28. But the required number is not to EXCEED 900. We can find the required number USING following steps- Step-1- Divide 900 by 168, ⇒ (900/168) ⇒ we find quotient 5. Step-2- Multiply 168 by the quotient 5, which is our required number. ⇒ Required number = 168 × 5 = 840 Hence, the required number is 840. |
