Question

Joshua has more than 250 toy soldiers. When he tries to arrange them in rows of 3, there are 2 left over. When he tries to arrange them in rows of 5, there are 2 left over. When he tries to arrange them in rows of seven, there are 2 left over. What is the least amount of toy soldiers Joshua may have?

PLZ HELP

Answer 1

50 toy soldiers =P
Because if you devide 250 by 5 it is 50.

Answer 2

The answer to your question is 317 because the LCM of 3,5,7 is 105 but you would have to multiply it by three and add 2 so it is over 250 and it has 2 left over on each number.
