A bakery sells cookies in three boxes. The three boxes contain 60, 84 and 108 number of cookies. The baker wants to sells all the cookies in any of the three boxes. The least number of cookies that he can bake, in a day, so that he is able to sell all his cookies in any of the three boxes is _______

Correct Answer: 3780
The three boxes contain 60, 84 and 108 number of cookies. 60 can be factorized as 2 × 2 × 3 × 5, 84 as 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 and 108 as 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 To find the least number of cookies that can be filled in the container, we have to find the LCM of the three numbers LCM of 60, 84 and 108 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 3780 Hence, the least number of cookies that can be filled in the container is 3780.
