What is the smallest three digit number  divisible by (2/3), (7/9), (4/(13)) without a remainder ?

$$\mathrm{What}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{smallest}\:\mathrm{three}\:\mathrm{digit}\:\mathrm{number} \\ $$$$\mathrm{divisible}\:\mathrm{by}\:\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}},\:\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{9}},\:\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{13}}\:\mathrm{without}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{remainder}\:? \\ $$

N=(2/3)a=(7/9)b=(4/(13))c  a=3p, b=9q, c=13r  N=2p=7q=4r  ⇒N=28k  for 3 digit numbers N_(min) =28×4=112

$${N}=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}{a}=\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{9}}{b}=\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{13}}{c} \\ $$$${a}=\mathrm{3}{p},\:{b}=\mathrm{9}{q},\:{c}=\mathrm{13}{r} \\ $$$${N}=\mathrm{2}{p}=\mathrm{7}{q}=\mathrm{4}{r} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{N}=\mathrm{28}{k} \\ $$$${for}\:\mathrm{3}\:{digit}\:{numbers}\:{N}_{{min}} =\mathrm{28}×\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{112} \\ $$
