[GMAT math practice question]

\(693\) 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 \(\frac{n}{693}\)?

\(A. 2\)
\(B. 3\)
\(C. 5\)
\(D. 7\)
\(E. 11\)

\(693\) and \(n\) have the same prime factors and \(n\) is a multiple of \(693\) that is greater than \(693\)....

when will n and 693 have the same prime factors :- when n is multiple of 693 and its prime factors

so lowest value of \(\frac{n}{693}\) will come from lowest value of n and will be equal to the smallest prime number of 693, which is 3.

lets solve it also
693 is clearly a multiple of 3 and there are NO other odd prime numbers < 3.....
so n lowest value but > 693 is 693*3
therefore \(\frac{n}{693}=\frac{3*693}{693}=3\)

=>

Since \(693 = 3^2*7*11\), the smallest integer multiple of \(693\) that is greater than \(693\) with prime factors \(3, 7\) and \(11\) only is \(n = 693*3\).
Thus, \(\frac{n}{693} = \frac{( 693 * 3 )}{693} = 3.\)

Therefore, the answer is B.

[GMAT math practice question]

\(693\) 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.
