Google won't help !!!
Hey readers....I was thinking of a number which when divided by :
2 gives remainder 1
3 gives remainder 2
4 gives remainder 3
5 gives remainder 4
6 gives remainder 5
7 gives remainder 6
8 gives remainder 7
9 gives remainder 8
10 gives remainder 9
First I was confused.... But then I got a way to solve it....can you tell what is 2nd such smallest number ???
The answer is 5039.

We see that the number is always 1 smaller than 2,3.4,5.6,7,8,9,10's multiples....so smaller such no will be 1 smaller than 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 ,10' s LCM .....
LCM of 2,3,4.......,7,8,9,10 is 2520....
Thereby smaller such no. Is 2520-1=2519
But we want second such smallest number...
So we should find 2nd smallest common multiple of 1,2........,9,10 which will be 2520*2=5040
Thereby 2nd such smallest number is 5 0 3 9
