Question 964395: I need help setting up the formula to solve this word problem:
On a factory assembly line, Inspector #1 inspects every 30th item, Inspector #2 inspects every 20th item, Inspector #3 inspects every 45th item, and Inspector #4 inspects every 72nd item. If the inspectors produces 16,000 items a day, how many items are inspected by all four inspectors?

total items inspected = (16000 / 30) + (16000 / 20) + (16000 / 45) + (16000 / 72) = 1911.111111111 approx 1912
total items inspected = 1,912
