The biggest number under 10000 that is exactly divisible by 3, 7 and 11

I don't know how to write a code to figure out this maths question:

What is the biggest number under 10000 that is exactly divisible by 3, 7 and 11?
3, 7 and 11 are coprime so for a number to be divisible by all three, it must be divisible by 3 x 7 x 11 = 231. Therefore you are looking for the largest number under 10,000 that is divisible by 231. After this, I'd assume you'd be allowed to use a calculator to see what this number is by calculating 10,000 / 231.
