No one coughed up the number and it's Fart of July, here it is,
simple and clear:

181


ITYM 1 as the lowest positive solution

otherwise 30N+1 with integer N = 0

It is obvious by construction that such numbers obey all constraints.

There is nothing special about 181 as a "solution" it is certainly not
the lowest non trivial solution to the problem nor is it unique.

31 is a good number too.
Lowest number can be divided by 6 and 5 + 1.
So, 30+1!

Yes, I take 31 to be the best answer. The LCM+1.

If you add a '4' to the original question, then 61 works, as does 121, 181, etc...

Those numbers work without adding 4.

Yeah, that was my suggestion in my original comment.
