Thnx
Since the question does not mention that the 3 integers are distinct, so the smallest possible common multiple of three integers, all larger than 26 is
27.
The correct answer is A.
Well, what would have been the reply had the integers been distinct?
I am considering the question as: What is the smallest possible common multiple of three
distinct integers, all larger than 26?
The smallest integer greater than 26 is 27. Double of 27 = 54, and three times 27 = 81
So, the smallest common multiple of 27, 54, and 81 = 27 * 2 * 3 =
162
Hope that helps.
