Answer:
210
Explanation:
A Friday occurs every 7 days.
A new moon occurs (approximately) every 30 days.
We need the smallest number that is a multiple of both 7 and 30.
We need the least common multiple (LCM) of 7 and 30.
This is the same as finding the least common denominator for two fractions that have denominators 7 and 30.
First, we find the prime factorizations of the two numbers.
7 = 7
30 = 2 × 3 × 5
The LCM is the product of common and not common factors with the larger exponent.
LCM = 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 210
Answer: 210
P.S. This is the correct answer for this problem, but the problem is stated incorrectly since a new moon occurs approximately every 29.5 days, so in reality, the true answer is not 210 days.
