The number of candies in the bag was less than 80. If it is possible to divide all the candies evenly among 3, 4, and 5 children, how many candies were in the box?

Answer:

60 candies

Explanation:

multiply 3 by 4 by 5 and you get 60, which has 3, 4, and 5 as prime factor, thus, making it possible to have an equal share with less than 80 candies
