Let the required number be z.

z = 28x + 8 and z = 32y+12 

 => 28x+8 = 32y+12

=>  7x = 8y+1  ..... (1)

Here, x =8n -1, y =7n -1 satisfies the equation (1).

Putting n =1,

we get x = 8-1 = 7 and y =7-1 =6 ?

=> z = 28 × 7 + 8 = 204

Thus, the smallest number which leaves remainder 8 and 12 when divided by 28 and 32 respectively is 204
