Some stickers are in a packet.
If Adam puts them into groups of 7, there are 2 stickers short.
If Adam puts them into groups of 5, there are 3 stickers short.
Find the smallest possible number of stickers in a packet.
Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49
Multiples of 7 (-2): 5, 12, 19, 26, 33, 40, 47
Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50
Multiples of 5 (-3): 2, 7, 12, 17, 22, 27, 32, 37, 42, 47
