It is known that no more than 5 children will be attending a party. What is the smallest number of cookies that must be brought to the party so that each child receives the same number of cookies?	Choose the correct option.
A) 35  B) 105  C) 60  D) 210  E) 420
The question states that there are no more than 5 children in the party. Thus, the possibility is that there could be 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 children.   If you assume answer as 35 and there are 3 children, you may not distribute be able to distribute cookies equally.   similarly if there were 105 cookies, and 2 children, cookies cannot be distributed equally.   or if there were 210 cookies, and 4 children, cookies cannot be distributed equally.   Thus, the question asks for a number of cookies which can be distributed to any number of children (from 1 to 5).   And therefore the smallest number of cookies would be lcm of (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), i.e., 60.   Answer (60)
