What is the sum of our ages.
:
I came come up with:
:
Your age is 38, the 4 consecutive numbers 75, 76, 77, 78
Divide by 38, gives remainders of 37, 0, 1, 2 = 40
:
Your brother's is 21, the 4 consecutive numbers 40, 41, 42, 43
Divide by 21, give remainders of 19, 20, 0, 1 = 40
:
the sum 38 + 21 = 59
