The LCM of 6,12,18,24,30 is 360, so the only positive integers that will leave remainder 4 when divided by all of those is 4 more than a multiple of 360. Such a number would be of the form 360n+4. 1000 ≦ 360n+4 ≦ 9999 Subtract 4 from all three sides: 996 ≦ 360n ≦ 9995 Divide all three sides by 360: 2.7666... ≦ n ≦ 27.763888... Since n is an integer: 3 ≦ n ≦ 27 So the smallest such 4 digit number is when n=3, 360*3+4 = 1084. And the greatest such 4 digit number is when n=27, 360*27+4 = 9724. Answer: 9724. Edwin
