Question 127058
The teacher noticed there were fewer than 100 students on the playground. When she counted them by twos, there was one student left over. In fact, when she counted them by threes, fours, fives or sixes there was always one student left over. How many students were on the playground.
-----------
The least common multiple of 2,3,4,5,6 is 60
There are 60+1 = 61 students on the playground.
