I'd like some help and detailed explanation of the answer.

Find the least number (other than 2) which, when divided by 3,4,5,6 or 7, has a remainder of 2.

First calculate the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the set of numbers {3,4,5,6,7}

second add 2 to the LCM for your answer.

Example:

Find the least number (other than 3) which, when divided by 5,6 or 15, has a remainder of 3.

LCM of {5,6,15} = 30

Answer = 30 + 3 = 33
