    Some hot dogs come in packages of 8. Why would a baker of hot dog buns package 7 hot dog buns to a package

    For customers that like to have matching hot dogs and buns, consider this scenario.
    For the first round, you have one extra hot dog.
    Now you buy a hot dog buns package. You're over 6 buns.
    This continues...

    We want to see when packaging and hot dogs math.
    Find the least common multiple of 7 and 8 so that packages match.

    LCM(7, 8) = 56
