Please, give me hints, I've no idea ;):
Find greatest number x such that x<1000 and x divided by 4 gives remainder 3, divided by 5 gives remainder 4, and divided by 6 gives remainder 5.
I already know that for some natural a,b,c, x=4a+3=5b+4=6c+5, but what next? Help please.
Answer
You know that x+1 is divisible by 4, 5, and 6 so x+1 is divisible by 60. The largest number under 1000 that is divisible by 60 is 960. So x=959.
