    Explanation

    The numbers that are perfectly divisible by all of 12, 25, 45 and 60 are their LCM and the multiples of the LCM. 12 = 2 × 2 × 3 25 = 5 × 5 45 = 3 × 3 × 5 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 ∴ LCM of 12, 25, 45 and 60 = (2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5) = 900 According to the question, we need to find the least 5 digit number that is a multiple of 900. 10000/900 = 11.11 ∴ The required 5 digit number = 12 × 900 = 10800
