Solution

The largest number that can divide the product of any four consecutive natural numbers is 24.

Here's why:

Let's consider four consecutive natural numbers as n, n+1, n+2, n+3.

  1. Among these four numbers, at least one of them is divisible by 2 (since every second number is even).

  2. Among these four numbers, at least one of them is divisible by 3 (since every third number is a multiple of 3).

  3. Among these four numbers, at least two of them are even, which means the product is divisible by 4 (since every fourth number is a multiple of 4).

So, the product of any four consecutive natural numbers is always divisible by 234 = 24.

Therefore, the largest number that can divide the product of any four consecutive natural numbers is 24.
