Answer / angha bhangale

solution. l.c.m. of 5, 6, 8 =2x5x3x4=120
As it is the smallest number we will add a sum of
2 because it is the remainder which we want when it is
divided by 5, 6, and 8 to the l.c.m. of 5, 6, 8
= 2+120
=122
therefore the smallest number that divides 45, 6, and 8 is
122 leaving remainder 2.

Answer / pradeep

242.
5*6*8 = 240
240+2 =242

If the numbers are 10,12,16 then as the numbers have common
divisor 2,dive by 2 and follow the above process.

If the numbers have common divisor then divide and continue
with multiplication and addition remainder.
