There are 3 clocks that are all set at 12:00 p.m.
\n" ); document.write( "The first clock adds 10 mins to every hour
\n" ); document.write( "The second clock subtracts 3 mins by every hour
\n" ); document.write( "The third clock adds 7 mins to every hour
\n" ); document.write( "When will the clocks be the same time again?
\n" ); document.write( "Will they ever be the same time again?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Change the clock cycles to minutes
\n" ); document.write( "1st clock: 70 min
\n" ); document.write( "2nd clock: 57 min
\n" ); document.write( "3rd clock: 67 min
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the least common multiple
\n" ); document.write( "70 * 57 * 67 = 267330 min they should all read the same time \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
