Certain number of eggs


A woman took the certain number of eggs to market and sold some of them. The next day, through the industry of her hens, the number left over had been doubled, and she sold same number as the previous day. On the third day the new remainder was tripled, and she sold the same number as before. On the fourth day the remainder was quadrupled, and her sales the same as before. On the fifth day what had been left over were quintupled, yet she sold exactly the same as on all the previous occasions and so disposed of her entire stock. What is the smallest number of eggs she could have taken to market the first day, and how many did she sell daily?
