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?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
