Question

Find the least multiple of 7 that leaves the remainder 4 when divided by 6, 9, 15 and 18.

A.

364

B.

274

C.

94

D.

184

Correct option is A

Concept used
Set up an equation in the form N = LCM × k + 4, where N must also be a multiple of 7.
Solution:
LCM of 6, 9, 15, and 18 is 90
So, any number that satisfies the condition must be of the form:
N = 90k + 4
where k is an integer. (k = 1, 2, 3 ,4,….)
put k = 4
N = 90 × 4 + 4 = 364
Thus,  The least multiple of 7 that leaves a remainder of 4 when divided by 6, 9, 15, and 18 is 364.
