Your local radio station is having their yearly music player and concert ticket giveaway. For one minute, every 5th the caller will win a music player and every 7th caller will win concert tickets.

You were just the first caller to win both a music player and concert tickets!

What number of caller were you?

Answer:

you are the 35th caller.

Explanation:

Multiples of 5: 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50

Multiples of 7: 7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63,70

Since the question specified "first caller" , the answer is basically from the lowest common Multiple (the lowest number that appear in both multiples) , and in this case, only 35 is the lowest common multiple.
