Question 1193966: When a number is divided by 2, the remainder is 1. When the same number is divided by 3, the remainder is also 1. What is the smallest possible number if the number is more than 10? Answer by mccravyedwin(409) (Show Source):
Any multiple of 6 will have remainder 0 if divided by 2 or 3, so 1 more
than any multiple of 6 will have remainder 1 when divided by 2 or 3.
The smallest multiple of 6 that's more than 10 is 12, so the answer is 13.
