Hi..

The number is 61. So when it is divided by 8 it leaves remainder 5 and not 4, if i'm not wrong.

Total stamps are the l.c.m of 3,4,5,6 i.e 60 and 1 is the remainder in all the cases.. so the toal stamp is 60+1=61

now deviding 61 with 8 leaves the remainder 5

so if he want to make it a group of 8 he ll be having 5 stamps left

First take the LCM of given No. and then add remainder that will give the required no. = 61
so, divide by 8 get remainder as 5 ans...
