Question

The children from a football club are put into rows in the sports hall. When put in rows of 6 children, there are 3 children left over. When put in rows of 8, there are 3 children left over. What is the least number of children in this football club

Answer 1

Answe:

27

Explanation:

Let total children =x

when x divide by 6 we got 3

and when divide by 8 we also got 3

since x divided by both 6 and 8 got 3, we can use LCM to find the number to children in the club exclude the 3 player. you will get 24 and by adding 3 the total players that you will get is 27
