To find the least number divisible by 23456 with a remainder of 1, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 23456 and the number 1 more than it. The LCM of two numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers. In this case, you would calculate the LCM of 23456 and 23457. The LCM can be found by multiplying the two numbers and then dividing by their greatest common divisor.

That's the number 1. The next-highest number which will have a remainder of 1 is 23456 + 1.

If you mean, by each of the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 separately, it is still one. To get the next one, get the least common multiple of all the numbers, and add that to one.
