The greatest number of four digits that have 144 for their HCF is___________?
Correct answer: D. 9936
- A. 9930
- B. 9903
- C. 9935
- D. 9936
Explanation
The greatest four-digit multiple of 144 is obtained from 144 x 69 = 9936; the next multiple, 144 x 70 = 10080, has five digits. Therefore 9936 is the greatest possible number. A common mistake is 9930, which is close to 10000 but is not a multiple of 144.
