Given:

Justin goes hiking every 8 days

Joel goes hiking every 10 days

If they hiked together on same day, let's find the number of days it will take before they both hike on the same day again.

Alll we have to do is to find the LCM(lowest common multiple) of both 8 and 10

Common multiples of 8 and 10 are: 40,
