pick a number between 3 and 100, divide the number over 3,5 and 7 seperately, from the three reminders you should be able to give the earlier picked number.
ex.
if we picked 26
26/3 = 8 with 2 remaining
26/5 = 5 with 1 remianing
26/7 = 3 with 5 remianing
if the numbers 2,1 and 5 are given as reminders for 3,5 and 7 respectivly, is there a systematic way, formula to find the picked number (26 in this example) i have a solution but i couldnt put it in a mathimatical shape, so i will post it if i didnt get a solution !
