A school distributes toys to children. Each of the children gets same number of toys and no toy was left. If each child can get 3, 5, or 6 toys in the way, what is the least number of the toys?

Let's say there are 'c' children and 't' toys.
So each child should get t/c toys.

If each child can get 3, 5, or 6 toys. = t/c
So t = minimum number of toys should be HCM of (3,5,6) = 30
