Problema Solution
The lowest number that is a multiple of both 60 and the integer n is 180 .
Find the smallest possible value of n.
Answer provided by our tutors
180 = 60*3
60 = (2^2)*3*5
This means that n does not divide 60 but divides 180.
One such number is 9.
Indeed LCM(60, 9) = 180 ( click here to see LCM calculation )
The smallest possible value for n is 9.
