Answer:


32

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the least positive number that has the given properties

The key point from tghe question is that when divided by 8, it gives a remainder of zero

What that means is that the number is a multiple of 8

So, now let us list out the multiples of 8

8 , 16 , 32 , 64 , 72,..........

8 cannot be the answer as it cannot divide 9

16 cannot be the answer as it gives a remainder of 2 when divided by 7

32 divided by 7 is 4 remainder 4

32 divided by 9is 3 remainder 5

32 has satisfied the requirements stated in the question and it is our answer
