910The number of oval stickers in both albums is the same. Make the number of oval stickers the same. LCM of 1 and 3 is 3.
Number of more square stickers in Album U than Album V
= 27 u - 1 u
= 26 u
26 u = 182
1 u = 182 ÷ 26 = 7
Number of stickers in both albums
= 27 u + 3 u + 1 u + 3 u
= 34 u
= 34 x 7
= 238
Answer(s): 238
