I often run into problems that deal with remainders.
say if the problem gives you the below two conditions:
1. X divided by 3 gives you a remainder of 5
2. X divided by 7 gives you a remainder of 2
what's the quickest way to find a few possibilities of X?
The way I'm doing it at the moment is by listing out a few possibilities for either condition, and looking for a number that qualifies both conditions. However, this might take a long time.
Thanks a lot.
