Question 12

The least multiple of $$23$$ which when divided by $$18,21$$ and $$24$$ leaves the remainders $$7,10$$ and $$13$$ respectively is


Correct Answer: 3013

The conditions imply that the number is congruent to $$7$$ modulo $$18$$, $$10$$ modulo $$21$$, and $$13$$ modulo $$24$$. Solving these simultaneous congruences gives $$N=3013$$ as the smallest positive solution satisfying all three conditions. Also $$3013=23\times131$$, so it is a multiple of $$23$$.
