let the no be x;
x=9a+1;
x=11b+2; 
x=13c+3;
multiply all equations by 2:
2x=9d+2;
2x=11e+4;
2x=13f+6;
now add 7 to all;
2x+7=9d+9;     divisible by 9
2x+7=11e+11;    divisible by 11
2x+7=13f+13;    divisible by 13
therefore LCM(9,11,13)=2x+7
(9*11*13-7)/2=x
=>x=640, if not 640 then keep multiplying by 2,3,4,5,6,etc
we take LCM because it is the smallest no which has 9,11,13 as factor

First number
9-1 = 8
Second number 
11-2 = 9
Third number 
13-3= 10
Therefore the LCM of 8,9,and10 is equal to 360

It's qnswea is 640.  360 is divided by 9 gives remainder 0. 360 is divided by 11 then gives remainder 8

subtracting remaider means 8,9 and 10 should be divisible by any common number
by l.c.m of 8,9,10
the number comes 360 
so the number which is divided by 8,9,10 is 360
