Find the smallest positve $n$ such that:

\begin{align*}
N &\equiv 6 \pmod{12}, \\
N &\equiv 6 \pmod{18}, \\
N &\equiv 6 \pmod{24}, \\
N &\equiv 6 \pmod{30}, \\
N &\equiv 6 \pmod{60}.
\end{align*}

Melody:

The smallest N is 6. The LCM of[12, 18, 24, 30, 60] = 360. Therefore:

N = 360k + 6, where k = 0, 1, 2, 3.........etc.

Hey Guest!

\begin{align*} N &\equiv 6 \pmod{12}, \\ N &\equiv 6 \pmod{18}, \\ N &\equiv 6 \pmod{24}, \\ N &\equiv 6 \pmod{30}, \\ N &\equiv 6 \pmod{60}. \end{align*}

LCM [12, 18, 24, 30, 60] = 360

N = 360k + 6.

Guest is right, my previous answer was wrong.

I hope this helped,

The smallest N is 6, the rest of my answer was incorrect.
