Answer:

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.
