  1. The largest natural number, which exactly divides the products of any four consecutive natural numbers, is ?
    1. 6
    2. 12
    3. 24
    4. 120
Correct Option: C

In any 4 consecutive natural numbers:

Two numbers will be divisible by 2, one of which will be divisible by 4, at least one number will be divisible by 3.

These facts give us a lower bound of 2 x 4 x 3 = 24 for the solution.

But 24 is also the product of the first 4 consecutive natural numbers, so it is also an upper bound.
