The minimum value of n is $$3*693$$(as n and 693 have same prime numbers) Therefore, the smallest value of $$\frac{n}{693}$$ is $$\frac{3*693}{693} = 3$$(Option B) _________________ You've got what it takes, but it will take everything you've got Math Expert Joined: 02 Aug 2009 Posts: 6797 693 and n have the same prime factors and n is a multiple of 693 that [#permalink] ### Show Tags 28 Jun 2018, 05:28 MathRevolution wrote: [GMAT math practice question] $$693$$ and $$n$$ have the same prime factors and $$n$$ is a multiple of $$693$$ that is greater than $$693$$.

Thus, $$\frac{n}{693} = \frac{( 693 * 3 )}{693} = 3.$$ Therefore, the answer is B.

$$693$$ and $$n$$ have the same prime factors and $$n$$ is a multiple of $$693$$ that is greater than $$693$$. What is the smallest possible value of $$\frac{n}{693}$$?

$$A. 2$$
$$B. 3$$
$$C. 5$$
$$D. 7$$
$$E. 11$$

Let us express 693 as a product of prime powers: 693 = 9 x 77 = 3^2 x 7 x 11. The prime factors of 693 are 3, 7 and 11. Since n has the same prime factors as 693, n also has prime factors of 3, 7, 11. Since n is a multiple of 693 that is greater than 693, the smallest value that n can be is 3 x 693 and thus the smallest possible value of n/693 is (3 x 693)/693 = 3.
