Answer 1

hi

aim : Which is the least number to be added to 24978 so that the sum is exactly divisible by 5,6,4 and 3

first let us find the lcm of 5,6,4 and 3

lcm is 60 .

=>60/5 = 14

=>60/6 = 10

=>60/4 = 15

=>60/3 = 20

now let us divide 24978/60

=> 416.3

now let us round off it to the next hundered

=>417

now 417 * 60

=>25020

least number added = 

25020  -  24978

=>42

hope it helps u
