    Explanation :

    Take LCM of 5, 6, 7, and 8. It will be = 840.

    Let the number 840*x + 3 is completely divisible by 9 if the sum of digits is divisible by 9.

    Let x= 2, the number will be 1683, and the sum of its digits is equals to 18 which is divisible by 9. So, the required number is 1683.
