Some stickers are in a packet.
If Adam puts them into groups of 8, there are 3 stickers short.
If Adam puts them into groups of 6, there are 5 stickers left.
Find the smallest possible number of stickers in a packet.
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56
Multiples of 8 (-3): 5, 13, 21, 29, 37, 45, 53
Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48
Multiples of 6 (+5): 11, 17, 23, 29, 35, 41, 47, 53
Smallest possible number of stickers in a packet = 53
