Greatest 6 didgit number is 999999.Now the required number must be a divisible by the LCM of 24,15 and 36

which is LCM(24 , 15 , 36) = 2 3 × 3 2 × 5 1 { 2 }^{ 3 }\times { 3 }^{ 2 }\times { 5 }^{ 1 } = 360 360

Hence the required number will be

= 999999 999999 ÷ 360 = 999999-999999\div \quad 360

= 999999 279 =999999-279

= 999720 =999720

Just take a calculator divide the greatest 6 digit no. i.e. 999999 by 360 (L.C.M. of 24,15, 36) , you will surely get a number 2777.775, so take the number excluding the decimal digits, which is 2777.

now, multiply 2777 with 360=999720
