What is the smallest whole number that has a remainder of 1 when divided by 4, a remainder of 1 when divided by 7, and a remainder of 2 when divided by 5?
140n + 57, where n=0, 1, 2, 3......etc.
The smallest whole number = 57
A=4k+1
A=7m+1
A=5t+2
7 is the biggest one so I just looked at the 7 ones and see if they worked for the others.
8,15,22,29,36,43,50,57 Yep, 57 works for the others as well, so that is the smallest one
