So the problem is, what is the least number than can be divided into 6, 7 and 8?

The numbers have only one non-1 divisor in common: both 6 and 8 are divisible by 3. 

So for our drives we can "delete" one 2 and ask:


what is the smallest number than can be divided into 3,7 and 8 ?

There are no more divisors in common, so we just have to multiply them: 3*7*8 = 21*8=168


and the 4 marbles "extra"? We add them to this sum. 


So, the smallest possible number in the box is 168 + 4 = 172.

100 POINTS!!!
Temka [501]

Up is the y value and left is the x value.

In the point ( t,u) t is the x value and u is the y value.

Moving to the left, you subtract the value and moving up you add the value.

The answer would be (t, u) → (-t – 3, u + 8)
