Answer:
The number which when divided by 45 and 60 leaves 7 as the remainder in each case is 187.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
Now we need to find a number which is divisible by both 45 and 60:
LCM:
45 = 3 × 3 × 5
60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
LCM = 180
Now, since the remainder in each case is 7, we need to add 7 to the LCM:
x = 180 + 7 = 187.
Therefore, the number which when divided by 45 and 60 leaves 7 as the remainder in each case is 187.
