Let x be the least number which when divided by 8, 9, 12, 14 and 36 leaves a remainder of 4 in each case, but x is divisible by 11. The sum of the digits of x is .........
Factor of 8 = $$2 \times 2 \times 2$$
Factor of 9 = $$3 \times 3$$
Factor of 12 = $$3 \times 2 \times 2$$
Factor of 14 = $$2 \times 7$$
Factor of 36 = $$2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3$$
LCM of 8, 9, 12, 14 and 36 = $$2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 7$$ = 504
Possible number = 504 + remainder = 504 +Â 4 = 508
but it is not divisible by 11.
Another possible number = 504 $$\times$$ 2 + remainder = 1008 + 4 = 1012
It is divisible by 11.
Sum of number = 1 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 4
