Let the number = x
Third part of the number = x / 3
Fifth part of the number = x / 5
A.T.Q,
x / 3 - x / 5 = 4
Find the LCM of 3 and 5 = 3 × 5 = 15
( 5x - 3x )/ 15 = 4
2x / 15 = 4
x = (4 / 1 ) × ( 15/ 2 )
x = 2 × 15
x = 30
Third part of the number = x / 3
Fifth part of the number = x / 5
A.T.Q,
x / 3 - x / 5 = 4

( 5x - 3x )/ 15 = 4
2x / 15 = 4
x = (4 / 1 ) × ( 15/ 2 )
x = 2 × 15
x = 30

let the no be x
according to question
x/3 = x/5 + 4
x/3-x/5= 4
2x/15 = 4
2x = 60
x = 30. ans.
