Find the smallest whole number such that when it is divided by 3, 5, 7, and 11 you get the same non-zero remainder.
No two of these numbers have any common factors except the number 1.
Multiply 3*5*7*11 to get 1155.
1155 is divisible by 3, by 5, by 7, and by 11
add 1 to 1155 to get 1156
1156/3=385 R1
1156/5=231 R1
1156/7=165 R1
1156/11=105 R1
1156 is the number
