One night the King couldn't sleep, so he went down into the Royal kitchen, where he found a bowl full of mangoes. Being hungry, he took 1/6 of the mangoes.

Later that same night, the Queen was hungry and couldn't sleep. She, too, found the mangoes and took 1/5 of what the King had left.

Still later, the  first Prince awoke, went to the kitchen, and ate 1/4 of the remaining mangoes.

Even later, his sister, the princes, ate 1/3 of what was then left.

Finally, the royal maid ate 1/2 of what was left, leaving only three mangoes for the cook.

How many mangoes were originally in the bowl?
