      Solution

      ATQ, If N leaves remainder 4 when divided by 5, 6, 7, then N βˆ’ 4 is divisible by all 5, 6, 7. LCM(5, 6, 7): 5 = 5 6 = 2 Γ— 3 7 = 7 LCM = 2 Γ— 3 Γ— 5 Γ— 7 = 210 So N βˆ’ 4 = 210k β‡’ N = 210k + 4 We want N > 100: 210k + 4 > 100 β‡’ 210k > 96 β‡’ k β‰₯ 1 Smallest such N is for k = 1: N = 210 Γ— 1 + 4 = 214 Answer: 214.
