\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " However if she removes the eggs 5 at a time there are no eggs left.
\n" ); document.write( "the number of eggs has to be a multiple of 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " If the basket holds up to 100 eggs how many eggs does she have?
\n" ); document.write( "Find a common multiple of 3 and 7 which is one less than a multiple of 5
\n" ); document.write( " that would be 84, so 85 eggs would satisfy this requirement
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
