What is the greatest number of three digit which when divided by

6,9,12 leaves a remainder of 3 in each case?
Step 1:Find L.C.M of given numbers
LCM of 6,9,12 is 36
Step 2:Find largest 3 digit number divisible by 36.
Largest 3 digit number is 999 and largest 3 digit number divisible by 36 is 972
Step 3:Add the remainder to the number.972+3=975

1. Largest number which divides x,y,z to leave same remainder = h.c.f. of y-x, z-y, z-x.
2) Largest number which divides x,y,z to leave remainder R (i.e. same) = h.c.f of x-R, y-R, z-R.
3) Largest number which divides x,y,z to leave same remainder a,b,c = h.c.f. of x-a, y-b, z-c.
4) Least number which when divided by x,y,z and leaves a remainder R in each case = ( l.c.m. of
x,y,z) + R
