Respectively Divisible II (Posted on 2023-02-10) Difficulty: 3 of 5
The numbers 637, 638, and 639 constitute a set of three consecutive positive integers (in order) that are respectively divisible by 13, 11, and 9.

Find the first set of four consecutive positive integers (in order) that are respectively divisible by 13, 11, 9, and 7.

How about the first set of five consecutive positive integers (in order) that are respectively divisible by 13, 11, 9, 7, and 5?

Solution Part 1 | Comment 1 of 4
Four consecutive integers are 13A, 11B, 9C, 7D.

13A + 3 = 7D
A = 3 mod 7
A = 3 + 7E 
13A = 39 +91E

39 +91E + 2 = 9C
E = 4 mod 9
E = 4 + 9F
13A = 403 + 819F

403 + 819F  + 1 = 11B
F = 5 mod 11
F = 5 + 11G
13A = 4498 + 9009G

Set G = 0 to get 4498, 4499, 4500, 4501.

Part 2 can be approached in a similar manner.
