Solution

The correct option is A 365The least number that is exactly divisible by 12, 15,18 and 24 is the LCM of the three numbers.212,15,18,2426,15,9,1223,15,9,633,15,9,331,5,3,151,5,1,11,1,1,1 L.C.M. of 12, 16, 24, 36 =2×2×2×3×3×5=360 360 is the least number which when divided by the given numbers will leave remainder 0 in each case.Therefore, the least number which when divided by 12, 15, 18 and 24 leaves a remainder 5 in each case = 360 + 5 = 365

  • What is the least possible number when divided by 12 16 18 and 20 leaves 11 as remainder ?

Solution

We first find the LCM of 12, 16, 24, and 36 as follows:

Thus, LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 144

144 is the least number which when divided by the given numbers will leave remainder 0 in each case. But we need the least number that leaves remainder 7in each case.
Therefore, the required number is 7 more than 144.

The required least number = 144 + 7 = 151.

Concept: Lowest Common Multiple

  Is there an error in this question or solution?

Solution:

We will be using the concept of LCM(Least Common Multiple) to solve this.

To determine the least number which when divided by 6, 15, and 18 leave the remainder 5 in each case,we need to find the LCM of the three given numbers.

Since, the LCM obtained will be the smallest common multiple of all the three numbers 6, 15, and 18, after getting LCM we need to add 5  to it so as to get 5 as a remainder.

Let's find the LCM of 6, 5 and 18 as shown below.

Therefore, LCM of 6, 15 and 18 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 90.

Thus we can see that, 90 is the least number exactly divisible by 6, 15, and 18.

To get a remainder 5, we need to add 5 to the LCM.

⇒ 90 + 5 = 95.

Thus, when 95 is divided by 6, 15, and 18 we get a remainder of 5 in each case.

Hence, the required number for the given problem is 95.

Concept Used-

The least number which is divisible by several numbers is the LCM of such numbers.

Calculation-

The least number which is divisible by 12, 18, 24 and 30 = LCM of 12, 18, 24 and 30

⇒ 360

Now the least number which leaves remainder as 4 when divided by 12, 18, 24 and 30 = 360 + 4

⇒ 364

Now, 364 is divisible by 7.

∴ 364 is the required number.
