The use of the word 'or' means that the smallest positive integer is 6, as 6 ÷ 4 leaves a remainder of 2.
If you mean the smallest positive integer what when divided by both 4 and 9 leaves a remainder of 2 then the answer is 38.
4x + 2 = M : 4x = M - 2
9y + 2 = M : 9y = M - 2
4x = 9y : x = 9y/4: x = 2.25y
This means that for x to be an integer, y must = 4 or a multiple of 4.
Thus, if y = 4 then 9y + 2 = 36 + 2 = 38
And, x = 9
If higher value integers were required then put y = 8,( or higher multiples of 4)
Then 9y + 2 = 72 + 2 = 74
And, x = 18

Bn = 37n+1, where n is a positive integer from 1 to infinity, therefore there exists an infinite number of numbers that can be divided into 37 and leave 1 as a remainder
Here is a method: cube root of 400g = n, where n is an integer cube both sides: 400g = n3 then: g = n3/400 therefore: n3/400 must be an integer if this is so, then n3 must be divisible by 400 with no remainder, and n must be => cube root of 400 which is 7.368 bracket the answer by substitution: let n=8, n cubed = 512 no good let n=12, n cubed = 1728 no good let n=20, n cubed = 8000, 8000/400=20 OK No smaller value of n will be divisible by 400 without a remainder, so g=20 is the smallest positive integer that meets the requirement.
The greatest common factor, or GCF, is the largest positive integer that will divide evenly with no remainder into all the members of a given set of numbers. The least common multiple, or LCM, is the smallest positive integer that all the members of a given set of numbers will divide into evenly with no remainder. Factors go into numbers, numbers go into multiples.

The lowest common multiple of a set of numbers is the smallest positive integer which can be evenly divided by each number in the set. It is, thus, the smallest number which belongs to the times-table of the each number in the set.
The number zero is not the smallest positive integer. The number one is the smallest positive integer.
Because 63 is the smallest positive integer that both of those numbers divide into evenly with no remainder.
