+1055 Brandon spends his afternoon picking apples from an orchard. He notices that if he groups the apples he picked by fives, six, or sevens, then he ends up with $1$ left over. If he groups by eights, he has $1$ left over. If Brandon knows that he picked between $1000$ and $2000$ apples, how many did he pick?

I multiplied 5 • 6 • 7 • 8 and got 1680. Then I added 1 to it.
Brandon picked 1681 apples
check answer
1681 / 5 = 335 R 1
1681 / 6 = 280 R 1
1681 / 7 = 240 R 1
1681 / 8 = 210 R 1
