in short we are ask to find the number which gives,
remainder=1 if x/2
remainder=1 if x/3
remainder=1 if x/4
remainder=1 if x/5
remainder=1 if x/6
remainder=0 if x/7
which implies the number is divisible by 2*3*4*5*6=720
and the number is 720+1=721

clearly it is one more than the lcm of 2,3,4,5 and 6 . the lcm is 60 but it does not satisfy the question. so we take multiples of 60 and add 1 to it. 301 satisfies the question. 301 is the answer.

Remainder should be 1 when dividing number with 2,3,4,5,6.
This means (Number-1) should be divisible by 2,3,4,5,6.
take LCM of 2,3,4,5,6 = 60
Now ques reduces to find multiple of 60 such that adding 1 to it gives the number divisible by 7.
60*2=300+1=301/7=43
301 is the answer
1 more hint- Number should be ending with 1 as when divided between 5 thieves 1 was remaining. And ending with 6 can't be true as 6 is multiple of 2.

clearly take the lcm of 2,3,4,5,6 and we get it as 60.but it is not divisible by 7 so we have to find a multiple of 60 and add one so that it is divisble by 7
ans is 300+1=301
