Problem

a) A mighty dragon has several rubies in his treasure. He is able to divide the rubies into groups of \(3\), \(5\) or \(11\). How many rubies does he have, if we know that is fewer than \(200\)?
b) The same dragon also has some emeralds. He is \(6\) emeralds short to be able to divide them into groups of \(13\), one emerald short to be able to divide them into groups of \(5\), but if he wants to divide them into groups of \(8\), he is left with one emerald. How many emeralds does he have if we know it is fewer than \(500\)?
