MATH STINGER #70

The puzzle for this issue is to find the smallest positive integer that leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by each of 2, 3, 
4, 5, 6, 22 and is evenly divisible by 23. A computer search is unnecessary. With some thought this puzzle can be 
solved with nothing more than pencil, paper, and a four function calculator.
