• ans =840.
  the problem is basically " which number between 1 to 1000 has the highest number of factors?"
  how??
  ex: take vending machine number 6, (it's factors are 1,2,3,6) so it has 4 visits.
  
  (To know about number with most factors, one has to learn about highly composite number or anti prime number.
  Number 6 has most factors between 1 &10.
  Similarly, number 60 has most factor between 1 &100
  Likewise, 840 is the number with most factor between 1 & 1000}
