But the answer can be 5 also if you consider the factors: 5, 10, 14

The question is asking you to find out the SMALLEST integer. Thus, laxie is correct.

However, in the actual GMAT test, the answer is said to have been 5, since there was no choice containg 1.

the question is poorly structured and ambigious one.
