In a machine , a large gear completes a revolution every minute while a small gear completes a revolution every 24 seconds. If the gears are currently aligned, how much time will pass before they are aligned again?

To make the second gear be aligned with the first, it will have to rotate 5 times, a total of 120 seconds or 2 minutes will pass.
