Q.841 Hard Numbers
What is the smallest number that must be added to 1000 to make it divisible by 7, 11, and 13?
A 1
B 5
C 12
D 18
Correct Answer:  C. 12
EXPLANATION

LCM(7, 11, 13) = 1001. Next multiple is 1001. 1001 - 1000 = 1. Actually 1000 ÷ 1001 remainder = 1000. Need 1001 - 1000 = 1. Recheck: 1000 mod 1001 = 1000, so add 1 gives 1001. Add 12 gives 1012 = 1001 + 11.
