Lets pretend that today is the 7/1. Lets make a table for the next few times George and Martha swam.
\n" ); document.write( "George| Martha|
\n" ); document.write( "7/6 |7/4 |
\n" ); document.write( "7/11|7/7 |
\n" ); document.write( "7/16|7/10|
\n" ); document.write( "7/21|7/13|
\n" ); document.write( "7/26|7/16|
\n" ); document.write( "And we'll stop there. If you look at the table, then you can see that 7/16 is on both columns. That means it will take 15 days for them to swim together again.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
