How Many Sweets?

It was Aryan’s birthday and he decided to celebrate it by distributing sweets at the temple.

When he reached the temple, there were only two children there, and Aryan found that he could divide the sweets among them equally.

Then, a third child joined and Aryan realised the sweets could still be divided equally.

Then, a fourth child appeared and then a fifth, and each time, Aryan found that it was possible to divide the sweets equally.

This went on till there were 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 children, and each time, the sweets could be divided equally among them. So, Aryan was very happy.

But when the 11th child appeared, Aryan found that he could no longer divide the sweets equally.

So, how many sweets did Aryan have in his basket when he went to the temple to distribute?
