N is congruent to 1 modulo 5
N is congruent to 3 modulo 6
:
N - 1 is divisible by 5
N - 3 is divisible by 6
:
we can use the answers as remainders which are congruent to N
:
a) 19
19 -1 = 18 is not divisible by 5
b) 17
17 -1 = 16 is not divisible by 5
c) 15
15 -1 = 14 is not divisible by 5
d) 21
21 - 1 = 20 is divisible by 5
21 - 3 = 18 is divisible by 6
