What is the smallest number of sweets that can be shared evenly by either 4 people or 6 people?
Solution:
If you try all of the numbers of sweets that can be shared between 4 people you will find that the first one that can also be shared between 6 people is 12.
4 sweets can be shared between 4 people, one each.
8 sweets is 2 each for 4 people, but would leave 2 leftover if 6 people each had one.
12 sweets is 3 each for 4 people, or 2 each for 6 people.
