a farmer had a flock of sheep. he descovered something odd; when he counted them in 2's he had one sheep left over when he counted them in 3's, 4's, 5's and so on up to 10's he still had one left over. what is the smallest size flock he must have?

well this is quite easy I believe the smallest flock he can have is 1 because everytime he increased his counts there will always be 1 sheep left so its best for him to count by 1s instead hope this helps
