Re: Rangpur Secondary 2011/6
is the wanted number a prime?
if it isn't there is no soln.
let's express $N=7.2a+a$
let's input the possible values of $a=1,2,3,4,5,6$
then the numbers are not divisible by any prime greater than 7

Re: Rangpur Secondary 2011/6
no..actually it is if $N=15x$ [$x=1,2] and divisible by 7 then quotient is twice the remainder.

Re: Rangpur Secondary 2011/6
Here,$N$ must be equal to $15x$ where $x\neq7y$.Then $15$ is the answer.
