Jar contains 840 pennies.
Step-by-step explanation:
A jar contains a large number of pennies.
The pennies can be divided into equal shares among 3,4,5,6,7 and 8 children with no pennies left over each time.
We will calculate Lowest common multiple (LCM) of the numbers.
Prime factorization of 3,4,5,6,7,8 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 7
LCM of 3,4,5,6,7,8 = 840
