Which is the least number which when divided by 4, 5, 7, and 8 leaves remainder 1 in each case but when divided by 11 leaves no remainder? Correct Answer 561
Calculation:
According to the question:
The number should b 11x; where x is any natural number
Least number which when divided by 4, 5, 7, and 8 leaves remainder 1 = LCM(4, 5, 7, 8) + 1
LCM(4, 5, 7, 8) + 1 = 280 + 1 = 281
But 281 is not divisible by 11
So, we have to try next smallest multiple
⇒ 560 + 1 = 561; which is a multiple of 11
∴ The required number = 561
