1683 is the number.............
Meww:
mark as brainliest
so it is 3 more than multiples ot LCM of 5 6 7 8
now LCM of 5 6 7 8
factorisee
5 = 5
6 = 2*3
7 = 7
8 = 2* 2* 2 = 2^3
LCM = 5*2^3*3*7 = 840
now it has to be of the form 840n + 3
this is divisible by 9
840n + 3 = 9m
3 = 9m - 840n
now using extended euler algorithm
we need to find GCD of 840 and 9
840 = 9*93 + 3
3= 840*1 - 9*93
so n = -1 or 2 as it is mod 3
so 840*n +3 = 1683 divisible by 9
hence ans is 1683
