Question

Find the least number which when is divided by 12 36 16 24 leaves a remainder 7 in each case

Answer 1

Answer:

151

Step-by-step explanation:

The number we are looking for is LCM of listed numbers + 7

Let's find LCM of the given numbers.

12 = 2*2*3

16 = 2*2*2*2

24 = 2*2*2*3

36 = 2*2*3*3

LCM(12,16,24,36)=2*2*2*2*3*3= 144

And adding 7: 144+7=151

So 151 is the smallest number we found
