A number is divisible by 13. If we divide that number by 5, it leaves a remainder of 3. What is the smallest such number?

  • A.13
  • B.26
  • C.39
  • D.52

Answer: D

Correct answer: 13

List the multiples of 13 in order and test each against the second condition.

\[13 \div 5 = 2 \text{ remainder } 3\]

The very first multiple already satisfies it, so 13 is the smallest such number. For comparison, 26 leaves remainder 1, 39 leaves 4 and 52 leaves 2, so none of the larger options qualifies as the smallest.
