One Small Concept

Constant Case: Smallest number when divided by x, y and z

leaves remainder a, b, c
x - a = y - b = z - c = common difference d
LCM (a, b, c) d

Convert to Constant Case: Smallest number when divided by

x, y and z leaves remainder a, b, c, where
x - ma = y - mb = z - mc = common difference d

Remainder Theorem
6 professors begin courses of lectures on Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and
announce their intentions of lecturing at intervals of 2,
3, 4, 1, 6, 5 days respectively. The regulations of the
University forbid Sunday lectures. When first will all six
professors simultaneously find themselves compelled to
omit a lecture?
