The title must be some word of the stem to pinpoint exactly the question. NOT quant

The stem tells us that the numbers are 3 different prime numbers and we want the smaller possible value.

Prime numbers are only positive. Pick the first 3 : 2,3,and 5

\(3^2 \times 5 \times 2^3\)

360 is the lowest possible value

Here more on prime numbers https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/gre-quant ... tml#p51913

True. I did not take into account that possibility.

Well done
