Does the divisors follows an arithmetic progression?

I am a positive integer.
I am divisible by 12, 15, 18, and 21.

Am I also divisible by 24?

Yes, definitely No, not necessarily No, never

Counter-example: n = 2 2 3 2 5 7 n=2^2\cdot 3^2\cdot 5\cdot 7
- n is divisible by 12 since 12 = 2 2 3 12=2^2\cdot 3
- n is divisible by 15 since 15 = 3 5 15=3\cdot 5
- n is divisible by 18 since 18 = 2 3 2 18=2\cdot 3^2
- n is divisible by 21 since 21 = 3 7 21=3\cdot 7
But n is not divisible by 24 since 24 = 2 3 3 24=2^3\cdot 3 .
Also, by the same logic, the number k = 2 3 3 2 5 7 k=2^3\cdot 3^2\cdot 5\cdot 7 is divisible from 12,15,18,21 and 24. So the answer is : NOT NECESSARILY
