One pendulum ticks 57 times in 58 sec and another 608 times in 609 sec.
If they started simultaneously then find the time after which they will tick together.
:
The 1st one ticks 58/57 = 1.01754386 sec
The 2nd one ticks 609/608 = 1.001644737 sec
Find the LCM which is an integer
1.01754386*1.001644737*10^9 = 1,019,217,452 secs they will tick together

Not 100% sure about this one. Let me know if I screwed this up. ankor@att.net
