N-35 to be perfectly divisible by all those numbers:
12: 2*2*3
18: 2*3*3
20: 2*2*5
21: 3*7
28: 2*2*7
30: 2*3*5
This is like looking for a lowest common denominator. You need 2*2*3*3*5*7.
That product is 1260.
You want where M is a WHOLE number. The largest number which needs to divide is listed as 30, so,
,... intuition partly at work here, so difficult to logically explain better, but find N.
