some multiple of 7 + some multiple of 5 should yield 63 . to get to a some multiple of 5 , we should ensure that a 3 or 8 ( 5 + 3 ) should be a multiple of 7 . 63 is a direct multiple of 7 , however in this case there wo n ' t be any cherry . hence the next option is to look for a multiple of 7 that has 8 as the unit d...
