41/5=8 with a remainder of 1
41/8=5 with a remainder of 1
so the answer is 41

5 is an integer and if is divided by 5 it will leave a reminder 1

Answer 3

numbers which when divided by 5 leave a remainder of 1:
6 11 16 21 26 31 36 41 46 ..
numbers which when divided by 8 leave a remainder of 1:
9 17 25 33 41 49 ...

looks like 41 is the smallest common to both

Answer 4

41/8=5 remainder 1
