The Chocolate Bar Challenge

James and his friends are sharing a large chocolate bar. If James divides it equally among 4 friends, there are 3 pieces left. However, if he divides it equally among 7 friends, there is only 1 piece left. What is the smallest possible number of pieces in the chocolate bar?

Comments

  1. James has a chocolate bar with N pieces.

    When he divides it among 4 friends, there are 3 pieces left.
    When he divides it among 7 friends, there is 1 piece left.
    We need to find the smallest possible number of pieces in the chocolate bar.

    Step 1: Write the Conditions as Equations
    Since dividing by 4 leaves a remainder of 3, we can say:
    N = a multiple of 4 + 3 → (e.g., 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, …)

    Since dividing by 7 leaves a remainder of 1, we can say:
    N = a multiple of 7 + 1 → (e.g., 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, …)

    Step 2: Find the Smallest Common Number
    The smallest number that appears in both lists is 15.

    Final Answer:
    The chocolate bar has at least 15 pieces. ✅
