Since LCM of 2, 3, 4 and 6 is 12, we must find the number that is divisible by 12 but not divisible by 5.

A number is divisible by 5 if its unit digit is either 0 or 5. Thus, the correct answer must be one among A, B and D.

Among these, the only number divisible12 is 1428.

The correct answer: D

Hope this helps!

We see that 138, 644, and 1,428 are not divisible by 5. Of those three numbers, only 1,428 is divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6 (138 is not divisible by 4 and 644 is not divisible by 3 or by 6).

Answer: D

Hi All,

We're asked which number is divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6 but is NOT divisible by 5. This question is built around several 'rules of division' patterns - and if you know those patterns, then you can use some 'math shortcuts' on this question and save some calculation time.

To start, we're looking for a number that is NOT divisible by 5.... so if a number 'ends' in a 0 or 5, then we can eliminate it. Eliminate Answers C and E.

Next, any number that is divisible by 4 is ALSO divisible by 2.... and any number that is divisible by 6 is ALSO divisible by 2 and 3. This ultimately means that we need to check 3 of the answers (Answers A, B and D) and find the one that is divisible by both 4 and 6...

Answer A: 138/4 = 34.5.... not evenly divisible by 4. Eliminate Answer A

Answer B: 644/4 = 161...... 644/6 = 107.333.... not evenly divisible by 6. Eliminate Answer B

You might also recognize that you can use the "rule of 3" to eliminate Answer B. The digits of 644.... 6, 4 and 4 add up to 6+4+4 = 14. Since 14 is NOT divisible by 3, 644 is NOT divisible by 3 either.

There's only one answer left...

Final Answer: D
