Some stickers are in a packet.
If Adam puts them into groups of 9, there are 8 stickers short.
If Adam puts them into groups of 5, there are 3 stickers left.
Find the smallest possible number of stickers in a packet.
Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81
Multiples of 9 (-8): 1, 10, 19, 28, 37, 46, 55, 64, 73
Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70
Multiples of 5 (+3): 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, 33, 38, 43, 48, 53, 58, 63, 68, 73
