Hi, I have this math project due tomorrow and this question is part of it. I really don't get it, and if you could help me thanks a lot! If you don't mind, can you please and explain how you got the answer ?

Thanks a bunch! (:

Here's the Question:

What is the least positive integer meeting each of the following conditions ?

Dividing by 7 gives a remainder of 4.
Dividing by 8 gives a remainder of 5.
Dividing by 9 gives a remainder of 6.

Thanks in Advance ! (:
 
you multiply the number where it says "divide by" by the last number. so lets says the first one. 7 times 4=28 so the least positive interger is 28 cuz 28 divided by 7 is 4. do the same for all
