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 6, there are 5 stickers short.
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 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66, 72, 78
Multiples of 6 (-5): 1, 7, 13, 19, 25, 31, 37, 43, 49, 55, 61, 67, 73
Smallest possible number of stickers in a packet = 73
