Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, find the LCM of 2, 3, and 4. From there determine if the LCM leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 5. If so, then that number is your answer. If not, then just divide multiples of the LCM into 5 until you find your answer.
