Solution

Even natural numbers less than 20 are 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18
Their LCM =2×LCM of first 9 natural numbers =2×2520=5040.
This happens to be the largest four-digit number divisible by all even natural numbers less than 20.
54 was subtracted from our required number to get this number.
Hence, the required number 54=5040.
Required number =5094
