Steve runs every other day and trains with weights every third day. If he does both on Monday, how many times will he do both on the same day, this week and next week?

Please god, someone help me. I need a step by step explanation. I have been trying to answer this question for a while already.​

The answer is the least common multiple of the two numbers - 12.
After the fourth cycle of lifting weights it shall be the twelfth day.
After the third cycle of swimming it shall also be the twelfth day.
