What is the least number which, when divided by 5, 6, 7, 8 gives the remainder 3 but is divisible by 9 ?
we need to find least number which, when divided by 5, 6, 7, 8 gives the remainder 3 but is divisible by 9
let the number be N
N = LCM(5,6,7,8)k + 3
N = 840k + 3
at k = 2
N = 1683 hence 1683 is the smallest number which can be divided by 5 , 6,7,8 and will leave remainder 3 and is also divisible by 9
