Question

Find the lowest number which is less by 5 to be divided by 16, 24 and 36 exactly.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Whatever t he number is, it must be divisible by 4 twos and 2 threes. the wording is a bit awkward.

The answer to what number is needed is 16 * 9 = 144

• 144 / 16 = 9
• 144 / 24 = 6
• 144 / 36 = 4

So if I'm reading this correctly, the answer is 149. When you take 5 away, you get 144.
