Find the least multiple of 23, which when divided by 18, 21 and 24 leaves remainders 7, 10 and 13 respectively = ?

  • 13002
  • 22013
  • 33024
  • 43036
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
Here (18 - 7) = 11, (21 - 10) = 11, (24 - 13) = 11
LCM of 18, 21 and 24 is 504
Let the required number be 504k - 11
Least value of k for which (504k - 11) is divisible by 23 is k = 6
∴ Required number = 504 × 6 - 11 = 3024 - 11 = 3013
