Dan rides his bike to town every eighth day, and Soo walks to town every third day. On which days are they likely to meet in town?

Answer (3)

Since the least common multiple of 3 and 8 is 24. They would meet on the 24th day.

the answer is 24 days, commonly you can multiply both numbers together to get the least common multiple unless they are very large numbers and then finding each out to like 5-7 places should also get you an answer

Dan and Soo will meet in town every 24 days. The first time they will meet is on the 24th day. After that, they will meet again on the 48th day and so on.
