First LCM of 20, 25, 35 and 40, using prime factorization method

20 = 2×2×5

25 = 5×5

35 = 5×7

40 = 2 x 2×2×5

LCM (20,25,35, 40) = 1400

As per given statement, we have to find the greatest number which when divided by 20, 25, 35 and 40 leaves remainder as 14 , 19, 29 and 34 respectively

i.e. 6 less than the divisor in each case.

Required number = 1400 – 6 = 1394

1394 is the required number.
