False Divisors

Logic · proposed by @Th4nh 1417
A teacher writes a positive integer $N$ on the board. Twelve students, numbered 1 through 12, each make a statement about the number: Student 1: "$N$ is divisible by 1." Student 2: "$N$ is divisible by 2." Student 3: "$N$ is divisible by 3." ...and so on, up to: Student 12: "$N$ is divisible by 12." The teacher reveals: "Exactly two of the statements made by the students are false, and those two students spoke consecutively."What is the smallest possible value of $N$?
