Arnold had three pieces of different color string all the same length. Arnold cut the blue string into 5 equal lengths. He cut the red string into 7 equal-size lengths, and the green string into 35 equal-size lengths. He needs to cut the string so each color has the same number of equal-size lengths. What is the least number of equal-sized lengths each color string could have?

the answer is 35, 5 x 7 is 35, and 35 is already an answer. So 35 equal length pieces is the number you looking for. Hope this helps :)
