Answer»

Answer:

677

Step-by-step explanation:

A heap of shots when MADE up into groups of 28,32 and 42 LEAVES always a reminder 5

To find the least number of shots in a heap

we will find LCM (Least common Multiplier) of 28 , 32 & 42  and then add remainder into it

28 = 2 * 2 * 7

32 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

42 = 2 * 3 * 7

LCM = 2*2*2 * 2* 2 * 3 * 7

LCM = 672

Adding remainder in LCM

672 + 5=677
