Hamburgers come packed 12 in a package. Hamburger buns come packed 10 in a package. If we want one hamburger for each bun for a barbecue, with none left over, what is the least amount of packages of each we need to buy?
It is asking for the highest common multiple of 12 and 10. the first time a multiple of 12 is divisible by 10 is at 12x5, which is 60. now divide 60 by 12 and 10, 5 and 6.
