Correct answer: 157
- We need the common terms of the three infinite arithmetic progressions:
If their intersection is again an arithmetic progression , then its terms must satisfy all three congruences.
- Let a common term be . Then
So we solve this system of congruences.
- First combine the first two:
Numbers congruent to are:
Among these, those congruent to are:
Hence
- Now combine with
Write
Substitute into the third congruence:
Since and ,
So
Thus
Therefore,
So
- Hence
So the required integer is
