Answer:

What is the smallest number which when divided by 20, 25, 35, 40 leaves a remainder of 14, 19, 29, 34 respectively?

Lighten the load on IT teams.

Let N be the smallest number.

This is a question of multiple divisors with multiple remainders.

Although the remainders seem different, but they are the same when we take their negative counterparts.

R[N20]=14 or (−6)

R[N25]=19 or (−6)

R[N35]=29 or (−6)

R[N40]=34 or (−6)

So, we can see N leaves the same remainder (-6) when divided by 20, 25, 35 or 40.

So, N=LCM(20,25,35,40)+(−6)

Or, N=1394 (Answer)
