Some stickers are in a packet.
If Adam puts them into groups of 8, there are 3 stickers short.
If Adam puts them into groups of 7, there are 2 stickers short.
Find the smallest possible number of stickers in a packet.
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64
Multiples of 8 (-3): 5, 13, 21, 29, 37, 45, 53, 61
Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63
Multiples of 7 (-2): 5, 12, 19, 26, 33, 40, 47, 54, 61
