+ | We know that </math>gcd(63, n+120)=21<math>, so we can write </math>n+120\equiv0\pmod {21}<math>. Simplifying, we get </math>n\equiv6\pmod {21}<math>. Similarly, we can write </math>n+63\equiv0\pmod {60}<math>, or </math>n\equiv-3\pmod {60}<math>. Solving these two modular congruences, </math>n\equiv237\pmod {420}<math> which we know is the only solution by CRT (Chinese Remainder Theorem used to so,be a system of MODULAR CONGURENCES). Now, since the problem is asking for the least positive integer greater than </math>1000<math>, we find the least solution is </math>n=1077<math>. However, we are have not considered cases where </math>gcd(63, n+120) =63<math> or </math>gcd(n+63, 120) =120<math>. </math>{1077+120}\equiv0\pmod {63}<math> so we try </math>n=1077+420=1497<math>. </math>{1497+63}\equiv0\pmod {120}<math> so again we add </math>420<math> to </math>n<math>.

As given the problem, </math>gcd(63, n + 120) = 21<math> and </math>gcd(n + 63, 120) = 60<math>. So we know that </math>d = 7<math> (last digit of </math>n<math>).

Our equation for </math>12 + abc<math> would be </math>42*j + 35 = x<math> and our equation for </math>7 + abc<math> would be </math> 42*j + 30 = y<math>, where </math>j<math> is any integer. We plug this value in until we get a value of </math>abc<math> that makes </math>n = abc7<math> satisfy the original problem statement (remember, </math>abc > 100<math>).

Therefore, by definition, we are able to set-up the following system of equations:

<cmath>n = 60b + 57.</cmath>
Thus,
