Some stickers are in a packet.
If Adam puts them into groups of 7, there are 3 stickers short.
If Adam puts them into groups of 5, there are 2 stickers short.
Find the smallest possible number of stickers in a packet.
Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56
Multiples of 7 (-3): 4, 11, 18, 25, 32, 39, 46, 53
Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55
Multiples of 5 (-2): 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, 33, 38, 43, 48, 53
