Math Problem : G.12 Integer divided by 4 and 5

When a integer is divided by 4, remainder is 2 and when it is divided by 5, remainder is 3.

Find the largest integer of tens digit applicable to this result.







Answer
98

Solution
What remainder is 2 when a certain number is divided by 4 means that if you add 2 to the certain number, it can be divided by 4. 

What remainder is 3 when a certain number is divided by 5 means that if you add 2 to the certain number, it can be divided by 5. 

That is, if 2 is added to a certain number, it will become a number which can be divided both by 4 and 5. 

Then what is necessary to find a certain number is to ask for the least common multiple of 4 and 5 and subtract 2 from the number. 

The minimum number applicable to it is 20 - 2 =18. 

Since it is the maximum number of tens digit, the number to find is calculated as 20 × 5 - 2 = 98.
