Solution:

lcm of 35,40,60 is  

35=5×740=23×560=22×3×5LCM=23×3×5×7=84035 = 5 \times 7 \\ 40 = 2^3 \times 5 \\60 = 2^2 \times 3 \times 5 \\\text{LCM} = 2^3 \times 3 \times 5 \times 7 = 840 

so the number which leaves 7 reminder when divided by 35,40,60 = lcm +7

=840+7

                                                                                                           =847
