Question

find the lowest number, which, when divided by 16, 24 and 32,leaves 4 as remainder

Answer 1

Hey there ✌✌ Here is your answer ✌



Firstly, we will find the LCM of 16, 24 and 32 by prime factorisation method.

16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

24 = 3 × 2 × 2 × 2

32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

LCM = 96



Now, we will add the given remainder i.e. 4 to the LCM i.e. 96

96 + 4

= 100




∴ The lowest number which when divided by 16, 24 and 32,leaves 4 as remainder is $\bf{100}$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Lcm of 16,24 and 32 = 96

Leaves 4 as remainder so we have to add 96+4=100

So the required number is 100.
