find the smallest number which when on being decreased by 3 is completely divisible by 18 36 32 and 27

Dear Student,

The required number will be the LCM of 18,36,32,27 +3so 18 = 2×3×336=2×2×3×332=2×2×2×2×227=3×3×3So LCM of these numbers = 2×2×2×2×2×3×3×3= 32×27=864So  required number = 864+3 = 867

Regards!
