What is the least number that should be added to 478 so that the number obtained becomes exactly divisible by 5, 6, and 12?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 2.
The number which is divisible by 5, 6, and 12 is divisible by the LCM of these three numbers
LCM of 5, 6, and 12 = 60
Hence, 480 is divisible by 60 which is close to 478.
Hence, the required number to be added = 480 - 478 = 2
