    Step-by-step explanation:

    LCM of 40,48 and 60 is 240.

    The factors of 40=2 * 2 * 2 * 5

    48=2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3

    The LCM of 40 and 48 is = 2 * 2 * 2 * 5 * 2 * 3 = 240

    60=2 * 2 * 3 * 5

    240=2 * 2 * 2 * 5 * 2 * 3

    LCM of 240 and 60 is=2 * 2 * 5 * 3 * 2 * 2=240

    Therefore LCM of 40, 48 and 60 is=240

    If you look at the multiples of 240 ...

    240*10=2400

    240*40=9600

    240*50=12000

    You will find that 240*41=9840 is the largest four digit multiple of 240 (240*42 is a five digit number)

    Therefore, 9840 is the largest four digit number which is exactly divisible by 40, 48 and 60.
