The LCM of 2,3,4,5,6 is 60.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Assume there are 61 tomatoes (60 +1) .61 is not divisible by 7.
\n" ); document.write( "Assume theer are 121 tomatoes (120 + 1). 121 is not divisible by 7.
\n" ); document.write( "the next possible would be 181 (60*3 +1), 241 (60*4 + 1) . These are not divisible by 7.
\n" ); document.write( "The next possible is 301 (60*5+1). 301/7 = 43 and there is no remainder.
\n" ); document.write( "Hence 301 is the smallest number of tomatoes that farmer can have\r
