The  number has remainder 1 when it is divided by 2.
This means it is an odd number.
 
The number has remainder 4, when divided by 5. A digit that is divisible by 5 ends in 0 or 5.
If we add 4 to this digit, we get the resulting digit either ending in 4 or 9. Since a digit ending in 4 becomes even, this means that the digit has to end in 9.
 
The number has remainder 0 when divided by 7, meaning that it is divisible by 7.
So the least digit divisible by 7 ending in 9 is 49.
Now , we need to check 49 if it satisfies all the given conditions.
49 divided by 2 has remainder 1
49 divided by 3 has remainder 1
So the answer is not 49, we need to find the next number in the table of 7 ending in 9. that is 70+49= 119. Now we need to verify all the given conditions
119 divided by 2 has remainder 1
119 divided by 3 has remainder 2
119 divided by 5 has remainder 4
119 divided by 6 has remainder 5
119 divided by 7 has remainder 0
 
So the least possible value for this number is 119
