The farmers eggs
A farmer is driving some eggs to the market. There is an accident and all of the eggs are broken. For insurance purposes, he needs to tell the insurance agent how many eggs were in the car. He cannot remember the exact number but he knows that when he arranged them in groups of 2, there was one left. When he arranged them is groups of 3 there was one left. When he arranged them in groups of 4 or 5 or 6, there was also one left. But when he arranged them in groups of 7, there were none left out.
What is the least amount of eggs he/she could have had?
