Solution

For 666,, the last two digits are 66, which is not divisible by 4.
Hence, 1 cannot be the answer.

Also, 666 is divisible by 6.
666=111×2×3
Here, 2 is the only even factor.
For divisibility by 4, we need another even factor.
The smallest positive even factor is 2.

Hence, if 2 is multiplied with the given number, it will be divisible by 4.

666×24=111×2×2×34=333
