=>
The smallest product of 6 distinct prime numbers is n = 2*3*5*7*11*13. 13! Is the smallest factorial that is divisible by 2*3*5*7*11*13. Thus, the smallest possible integer value of m is 13.
Therefore, the answer is D.

2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11 x 13, so we see that m! must have a prime of 13, so the least value of m is 13.
