The least value of N is found to be 13 ( by the method of pulverizer ). This remainder is left by dividing the number N' by the product 8.9 = 72. Hence in general N = 72t + 13 where t is any arbitrary integer. Again, N = 72t + 13 = 7z + 1. Applying the same method again, least value of N = 85 which satisfies the three given divisors.
