Question 106328: Jane has two electronic beepers. One of them beeps every 4 seconds;
and the other beeps every 6 seconds. If they are turned on at exactly the same time,
how many times during the next hour will both beepers beep at the same time?

The least common multiple of 6 and 4 is 12.
The number of seconds in an hour is 60*60 = 3600
3600/12 = 300
The two beepers will beep at the same time 300
times in an hour.
