Ok, End of the quarter is here, and this is my last chance to pass Trig! PLEASE help me with whatever you can and I'll love you forever!.
What is the smallest positive integer that when divided by 10, 9, 8, 7, and 6 leaves the remainders 9, 8, 7, 6, and 5 respectively????
Even if you don't get it, thank you so much for your effort :)

Note that in every case, the remainder is exactly one less than the divisor. So we know that x+1 must be divisible by 10, 9, 8, 7, and 6. Ergo, it must be divisible by their least common multiple, which is 2^3 * 3^2 * 5 * 7, or 2520. So the smallest value of x+1=2520, so x=2519.

Solving the problem is very easy.First of all find the Lowest Common Multiple of the numbers given.Then as it always leaves a remaindr of 1 less than the divisor,subtract 1 from the lowest Common multiple and that is your answer.
now the LCMof 10,9,8,7 and 6=2520.
Therefore required no, is 2520-1=2519

The last digit is 9
The ony product of 9 that gives a 1 is 9*9
The answer is 2519
I solved this with excel.
