One day, the Tang Priest told his disciples Wukong, Bajie and Friar Sand to go to Guo Huashan to pick peaches. Before long, the three disciples returned happily after picking peaches. Tang Priest and his disciples asked: How many peaches did each of you pick?
Bajie said with a silly smile, Master, let me test you. Each of us took the same amount of money. There are less than 65,438+000 peaches in my basket. If you count three plots, there is still 1 left. Do you calculate how many peaches each of us picked?
Friar Sand said mysteriously, Master, I will test you, too. If there are four peaches in my basket, there is 1 left in the end. Calculate, how many peaches did we each pick?
Wukong smiled and said, Master, I'll test you, too. If you count five peaches in my basket, there is 1 left in the end. Calculate, how much will each of us choose?
Tang Priest quickly said how many peaches they each picked. Do you know how many peaches they each picked?
