Satisfactory Essays

Problem Statement Were looking for a number that’s divisible by 7 and has 1 left over when divided by 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Is there more than one answer? Process First, I listed the multiples of 7. I knew from the problem all numbers were divisible by 7. Then, I eliminated the numbers that were divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. I knew the answer will only be divisible by 7, but not the rest. Finally, I looked at the remaining numbers and tested to see if there was a remainder of 1 if divided by the test numbers. Solutoin My answer is 301. 301/7=43 301/2=150 r 1 301/3=100 r 1 301/4=75 r 1 301/5=60 r 1 301/6=50 r 1 There are possibly other answers if we continue to look at multiples of 7 and repeat the process.
