Solution 1
Looking at the values, we notice that 
, 
and 
. This means we are looking for a value that is four less than a multiple of 
, 
, and 
. The least common multiple of these numbers is 
, so the numbers that fulfill this can be written as 
, where 
is a positive integer. This value is only a three digit integer when is 
or 
, which gives 
and 
respectively. Thus we have values, so our answer is
