You are on page 1of 1

let me give you a technique:

write the numbers as follows:


divisors: 4 5
reminders: 1 4
leave the right-most top number 5
multiply 4 and 4, then add 1 which is down below the divisor 4; you get 17
add this 17 to the product of 4, 5, (divisors) and k a constant
20k+17 (this is the number we want)
when k=1, the number is 37
when 37 is divided by 5, remainder is 2.
when 7 is divided by 4, remainder is 3.

Example
divisors: 4 5 6
remainders: 1 2 3
step 1: 3x5+2 = 17
step 2: 17x4+1 = 69
step 3: 4x5x6 = 120
the number is 120k+69
when k= 1, the first number is 189
Got it!
