1. 

Let N be the number of coins of Alex

2a+1=N
3b+1=N
4c+1=N
5d+1=N
6e+1=N
7f+1=N

so N-1 is a multiple of 2, of 3, of 4, of 5, of 6 and of 7

so N-1 has factors 7*6*5*2*X, where X is another factor. 

2.
There is no need to write N-1 as 7*6*5*3*2*4, since being a multiple of 6, means being a multiple of 2, and of 3 as well. Also, no need to write *4, since 6 has already *2, but we need one more 2, that why we write 7*6*5*2*X

(7*6*5*2=420 is the LCM, least common multiple of 2,3,4,5,6,7)

3.

N-1=420*X. 

X cannot be 2 or more since N would become larger that 800.

X must be 1, so N-1=420, which means N=421 is the number of coins
