Answer 1

Answer:

677 ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀɴꜱᴡᴇʀ

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be ‘N'.

Now N, when divided by 24, 32 & 42 leaves remainder 5.

In other words, (N-5) will be complely divisible by 24, 32 and 42 and the least as well.

So, (N-5) has to be the LCM of 24, 32 & 42.

LCM (24, 32, 42) = 672 = (N-5)

So, N = 677 (Answer)
