Find the least number which when divided by8,12,and24 leaves a remainder 5.

Answer 1

Here is your answer⬇️⬇️


First we will find the prime factors of 8, 12, 24 and then we will find the LCM.


8 = 2*2*2

12 = 2*3*2

24 = 2*3*2*2

Common factors = 2 * 2

LCM = 2*2*3*2

LCM = 24


Therefore, Remainder = 24 + 5 = 27
