    It leaves a remainder of 3

    that means is it NOT a multipule of 6 or 8 or 10

    it has to be more than 10 though

    6x+1=8y+1=10z+1

    subtract 1 from everybody

    6x=8y=10z

    so basically what is the least common multplule and then add 1

    LCM

    factor

    6=2*3

    8=2*2*2

    10=2*5

    therefor the LCM=2*2*2*3*5=120

    then add 1

    120+1=121

    the smallest intege is 121
