Answer
given that the smallest member which when increased by $17$ is (exactly) by both $520$ and $468$.
Prime factors of $520$ and $468$ are
$520 = 2^3 \times 5 \times 13$
$468 = 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 13$
L.C.M $(520, 468) = 2^3 \times 3^2 \times 5 \times 13$
$= 8 \times 9 \times 65$
$= 4680$
Number is increased by $17$ so, smallest number will be
$= L.C.M (520, 468) - 17$
$= 4680 - 17$
$= 4663$
Thus, the required number is $4663$.
