hi all
I have heard about the mod and the remainder chinese theorem in some posts dealing with remainder I did not learn this at school
Can anyone help me with this exercise using the remainder chinese theorem so i can notice i did understood it . plz explain your working
THANKS
The teacher has some apples to distribute to her students. If she
gives all of the apples to the 13 students in her first class she will
have 4 left. If she gives all of the apples to the 29 students in her
second class she will have 9 left. If she gives all of the apples to
the 37 students in her third class she will have 16 left. Whichever
class she gives the apples to, she will give each student the same
number of apples. What is the smallest number of apples the teacher
can have?

My trial x be the number of apples the teacher has
k be the number of apples per student
x=13K+4
x=29K+9
x=37K+4
SMALLER NUMBER OF APPLESTEACHER CAN HAVE
x=4 MOD 13
x=9 MOD 23
x= 16 MOD 37
Since 13 ,29 ,37 Are coprime we can use the chinese remainder theorem
13x29x37
is it right ?
