Problems on H.C.F and L.C.M
Let the least number of six digits, which when divided by 4, 6, 10 and 15, leaves in each case the same remainder of 2, be N. The sum of the digits in N is:
L.C.M. of 6, 9, 15 and 18 is 90.Let required number be 90k + 4, which is multiple of 7.Least value of k for which (90k + 4) is divisible by 7 is k = 4.Required number = (90 x 4) + 4 = 364.
L.C.M. of 5, 6, 7, 8 = 840.Required number is of the form 840k + 3Least value of k for which (840k + 3) is divisible by 9 is k = 2.Required number = (840 x 2 + 3) = 1683.
