Question 62

Find the second smallest number which, when divided by 81 or 63, leaves a remainder of 7 in each case.

Solution

LCM of 81 and 63 = $$3\times3\times3\times3\times7$$

= 567

Here 567 is the smallest number which, when divided by 81 or 63, leaves a remainder of zero. For remainder '7' we need to added it.

But we need the second smallest number which, when divided by 81 or 63, leaves a remainder of 7 in each case. So the required number = $$567\times2+7$$

= $$567\times2+7$$

= 1134+7

= 1141
