Question

There are less than 200 apples in a box. It is known that 2,3,4,5, and 6 kids can share these apples evenly. How many apples can be in that box?

Answer 1

60/120/180

Explanation:

Either of these would work because it must be an even number divisible by 2.

It must end in a zero : divisible by 5 but even.

It must be a multiple of 30 as 3 only goes into 10s at 30. And that takes care of the 6 too.

But 4 doesn't go into 30, so 60?….

Yes, 60 is divisible between 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

But the question does not limit your answer to one solution.

I hope this helps! :)
