12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2-1

pls explain the ans clearly...pls

[smileey]

Obviosly, 12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2 is divisible by 12, 11, 10, 9,......2. So, if you subtract 1 from it, reminder wud be 11 wen divided by 12, 10 wen divided by 11, etc etc

The right answer is:27719 if you will get 2 to 12 LCM u can get that.But why LCM I dont know if any one know why LCM plz help me.

But it is sure 27719

Its the same idea as I explained above. First look for a number that is multiple of all numbers frm 2, 3, ....12 and then subtract 1. The smallest such number is the LCM which is 27,720, so the smallest number that gives rem 11 with 12, rem 10 with 11,,,.... is 27720-1=27719

The right answer is:27719 if you will get 2 to 12 LCM-1 u can get that.But why LCM I dont know if any one know why LCM plz help me.

ans is 659...it shoud be lcm of 12,11,10 -1...........lcm of 12,11,10 is 660
so ans is 660-1=659
chk the ans,its true
