Mary chose an even $4$-digit number $n$. She wrote down all the divisors of $n$ in increasing order from left to right: $1,2,\ldots,\dfrac{n}{2},n$. At some moment Mary wrote $323$ as a divisor of $n$. What is the smallest possible value of the next divisor written to the right of $323$?
$\textbf{(A) } 324 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 330 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 340 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 361 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 646$
Let $d$ be the next divisor written to the right of $323.$
If $\gcd(323,d)=1,$ then \[n\geq323d>323^2>100^2=10000,\] which contradicts the precondition that $n$ is a $4$-digit number.
It follows that $\gcd(323,d)>1.$ Since $323=17\cdot19,$ the smallest possible value of $d$ is $17\cdot20=\boxed{\textbf{(C) } 340},$ from which \[n=\operatorname{lcm}(323,d)=17\cdot19\cdot20=6460.\]
