document.write( "They will meet at the starting point each time the number of minutes\r\n" );
document.write( "that have lapsed is divisible by both 12 and 18.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The smallest number of minutess which is divisible by both \r\n" );
document.write( "12 and 18 is 36.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So they will meet at the starting point every 36 minutes.\r\n" );

document.write( "The first time will be when 36 minutes have lapsed.\r\n" );
