Question

Find the least no. which when divided by 12 leaves remainder 7, when divided by 15 leaves remainder 10 and when divided by 16 leaves remainder 11​

Answer 1

Answer:235

Step-by-step explanation: when divided by 12 ,leaves a remainder of 7

difference = 12 - 7 = 5

when divided by 15 ,leaves a remainder of 10

difference = 15 - 10 = 5

when divided by 16 ,leaves a remainder of 11

difference = 16 - 11 = 5

LCM(12,15,16) = 240

so required number is 240 - 5 = 235
