A Correct answer
Explanation

The divisors are 8, 12, 15, 20. LCM(8, 12, 15, 20) = 120. The differences between divisors and remainders are constant: 8-5=3, 12-9=3, 15-12=3, 20-17=3. We need the largest 5-digit number N such that N = 120k - 3. 99999 / 120 = 833 with remainder 39. 120 * 833 = 99960. 99960 - 3 = 99957.
