Answer: 60</h3>
The value 60 is the LCM of 3, 4 and 5.
==================================================
Explanation:
LCM = lowest common multiple
To find the LCM, we list out the prime factorization of each number
Ignoring the factors of 1, we have the unique primes of 2, 3, 5. There are 2 copies of '2', one copy of '3', and one copy of '5'. So we multiply this out to get 2*2*3*5 = 4*15 = 60
----------
If she had 60 apples, and wanted to give them to 3 friends, then each friend gets 60/3 = 20 apples
If instead, she had 4 friends, then each friend gets 60/4 = 15 apples.
Or if she had 5 friends, then each friend gets 60/5 = 12 apples.
For any of those three cases, there are no leftovers or remainders.
Any multiple of 60 will work (eg: 120 or 180), but 60 is the smallest such number that allows her to divide the apples this way without any leftovers.
