-------
It has to be evenly divisible by 2,3,4,5 & 6
---> 4*5*6 = 120, the Least Common Multiple
=============
I've never played cards with a deck of 120 cards.
Always 52.
==================
There are no card games with zero (0) cards.
If zero (0) is an acceptable answer, then so it -60, -6000, etc.
