46080 is 5 digit no; 3840 is 4 digit, 384 is 3 digit, 48 is 2; 24 should not have been there, instead some single digit no. Should have been there, So I think it is 24 but my solution is different.
Am I right?

Every number can be divided by even number except 1. i.e>
46080/12
3840/10
384/8
48/6
24/4
2/2
But one can only divided by 1.
So, we come to know that, the number we use to divide has of two difference except 1 and one is also odd number so the wrong number is 1.
46080/12
3840/10
384/8
48/6
24/4
2/2
But one can only divided by 1.
So, we come to know that, the number we use to divide has of two difference except 1 and one is also odd number so the wrong number is 1.

From last multiply each number by first 6(2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) even number.
1*2 = 2.
2*4 = 8.
8*6 = 48.
48*8 = 384.
384*10 = 3840.
3840*12 = 46080.
So 24 is wrong 24 replace by 8.
1*2 = 2.
2*4 = 8.
8*6 = 48.
48*8 = 384.
384*10 = 3840.
3840*12 = 46080.
So 24 is wrong 24 replace by 8.

Every other number is a multiple of or divisible by 3 but 2 is the only number that can't be divided by 3, so why isn't 2 the right answer?

Here, 2 is the only prime number. Then why not 2?

Suppose if we go with the flow of multiplying 2 and 12 in a successive manner in the conjugate sequence then the product is equal to value as it exists. Hence 384 is making wrong to the statement.
1*2, 2*12 , 2*24, 12*48 ,2*384 wrong.
1*2, 2*12 , 2*24, 12*48 ,2*384 wrong.

Here there are two big doubts:
1. The question here is how do you get to know that we have divide the first no with 12.
2. And next how we can know that next we keep decrements the divisor by 2 ?

1 can be answer of this question, because 1 is odd number and other are even. So answer of this question is 1.
