I don't think that her question is the same as the Chinese one. Try 301. There are more answers I bet but I think they will all have to end in a "1" b/c of the 5 and the 2. |

The answer to that is just a matter of utilizing prime factors. Here's how: First find a number that divides 2,3,4,5,and 6 with no remainder. If you need to, you can use the prime factorizations of each of those numbers to figure it out, but by examination, it's clear that our number is 60. If you add 1 to get 61, this divides 2,3,4,5,and 6 with a remainder of 1. Then, just multiply 61 by 7 and your number is 427 (there are an infinite number of solutions to this problem, this is just one of them.) hopes this helps :) |
