sarahs shipping and ryans mail services both ship packages. Sarah's trucks will only carry loads of 12 packages. In contrast, Ryans trucks will only carry loads of 18 packages. If both businesses ended up shipping the same number of packages this morning, what is the minimum number of packages each must have shipped?

36 packages, Sarah would have shipped 3 loads, or 36 total and Ryan would ship 2 loads, or 36 as well.
