140...

prime factors of 20 are 2*2*5. they have to be in the 2 numbers as well. in 840 are 2^3*5*3*7. the 7 must be in the unknown number because 2^3*5*3 are already the primes of 120. the unknown number is 2*2*5*7=140.

agree with 140. another number ust be the smallest (except 0) multiple of 7x20.
