The least number which when divided by 8, 9, 12 and 15 leaves a remainder of one in each case is 361.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : The least number which when divided by 8, 9, 12 and 15 leaves a remainder of one in each case​?  

Solution :  

We find the LCM of 8, 9, 12 and 15.

2 | 8  9  12  15

2 | 4  9   6   15

2 | 2  9   3   15

3 | 1   9   3   15

3 | 1   3   1    5

5 | 1   1    1    5

  | 1   1    1     1

LCM(8,9,12,15)=2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 3\times 5  

LCM(8,9,12,15)=360  

In each case it leaves a remainder 1 so we add 1 in the LCM of the numbers.

i.e. 360+1=361.

Therefore, the least number which when divided by 8, 9, 12 and 15 leaves a remainder of one in each case is 361.
