Problem

Suppose that is a four-digit integer with no digits equal to zero such that , , and are distinct integers that each divide into . Find the smallest possible value of .
Solution
Since , then also divides into . Similarly, since , then must divide into . To minimize , then we would like to try . It follows that is divisible by , and also divides into . Thus, , but we can eliminate the first due to the distinctness condition. Trying each of the others, we see that is not divisible by ; is not divisible by ; and is indeed divisible by .
Final answer
1155
