Given least number when divided by 36,49 and 64 leaves remainder 25, 37 and 53 respectively
Question ImageFrom this we conclude that the required division should be 11 less than the exact multiple of the divisor.
 For the three numbers 36, 48 and 64, L.C.M. You can use it to determine the least frequent multiple.
Prime Factorization of 36, 48 and 64
Question ImageFor each prime factor, find where it occurs most often as a factor and write the number to a new list 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3
By multiplying these factors together we get
LCM=Question ImageLeast number is Question ImageLeast number= 576-11= 576
