Question 779268: This is my word problem. A lady has a number of eggs which when she groups them in groups of 2,3,4,5,6 she always has one left over but when she groups them in 7 she never has any left over. I thought the number was 91 because it works with the equation with all of the numbers except for the number 4. I have tried all kinds of numbers ending in 1 but have had no success. Is this a solvable equation or am i just killing my brain. PLEASE WHAT IS THE ANSWER ????

You can put this solution on YOUR website! L.C.M. of 2,3,4,5,6 is 60.
Let the number be (60n+1).
This number has to be divisible by 7.
For n = 5, the number is 301. It is divisible by 7.
So your answer is 301.
Cheers!
