Find the largest number of 3 digits divisible by 4 and 7.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 980.
Given:
The numbers are 4 and 7.
Explanation:
The largest 3-digit number = 999.
Now, the number that must be divisible by both 4 and 7 should also be divisible by LCM of 4 and 7.
So, LCM of (4, 7) = 28
Dividing 999 by 28, we get
999 ÷ 28 gives remainder as 19.
So, the number to be divisible by 28 is 999 - 19 = 980.
Hence, the largest 3-digit number that is divisible by both 4 and 7 is 980.
