Question 8 Find the smallest number that is divisible by 3, 4, 5 and 7, but leaves a remainder of 10 when divided by 11.First, let’s find t smallest number that is divisible by 3, 4, 5 and 7 Now, Smallest number that is divisible by 3, 4, 5 and 7 = LCM of 3, 4, 5 & 7 Finding LCM using Shortcut Method There are no common factors between 3, 4 5, 7 ∴ LCM of 3, 4, 5, 7 = 3 × 4 × 5 × 7 = 12 × 35 = 420 Now, we need to find Smallest number that is divisible by 3, 4, 5 and 7, but leaves a remainder of 10 when divided by 11 Thus, the numbers would be multiples of 420 Multiples of 420 = 420, 840, 1260, 1680, 2100... Checking remaining of multiples when divided by 11 420÷11→ Remainder 2 840÷11→ Remainder 4 1260÷11→ Remainder 6 1680÷11→ Remainder 8 2100÷11→ Remainder 10 Thus, answer is 2100
