The largest four-digit number which when divided by 14, 15 and 8 leaves remainder 4 in each case is:
9244
A number leaving remainder 4 when divided by 14, 15 and 8 must be 4 more than a common multiple of these numbers.
\(\text{LCM}(14,15,8) = 840\).
The largest 4-digit multiple of 840 is \(840\times11 = 9240\), since \(840\times12=10080\) exceeds 9999.
Adding the remainder: \(9240+4 = 9244\).
Hence, the required number is 9244.
