| Answer» PLEASE MAKE ME BRAINLISTStep-by-step explanation:ALTERNATIVELY:n is a multiple of 7, and 1 short of a multiple of 3 or 4 or 5 or 6Division by 6 TAKES CARE of division by 3, so n+1 = 4 x 5 x 6 x K(where K will ensure it’s a multiple of 7)So n = 119*K, and 119 is divisible by 7, so K = 1 and n = 119 | |
