What is the largest two digit number which when divided by 6 and 7 gives remainder 3 and 4 respectively?
As we know that the largest two-digit number is 99.
As per the question, the number should be divided by 6 and 7 respectively. So the LCM of (6, 7) is 42.
99 can be written asĀ $$42\times\ 2+15$$
So the number which follows bothĀ the conditions isĀ $$42\times\ 2-3$$ = 84-3 = 81
Now if 81 is dividedĀ by 6 and 7 respectively, thenĀ gives the remainder 3 and 4 respectively.
