Some stickers are in a packet.
If Adam puts them into groups of 8, there are 7 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 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80
Multiples of 8 (-7): 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49, 57, 65, 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
