find the smallest number which when divided by 25,40,60, leaves remainder 7 in each case .

Hi!
Here is the answer to your question.
 
The given numbers are 25, 40 and 80.
The smallest number which when divided by 25, 40 and 60 leaves remainder 7 is obtained by adding 7 to the LCM of 25, 40 and 60.
Prime factorization of 25 = 5 × 5
Prime factorization of 40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
Prime factorization of 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
LCM of 25, 40 and 60 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 5 = 600
∴Smallest number which when divided by 25, 40 and 60 leaves remainder 7 = 600 + 7 = 607
 
Cheers!
