Find n

anonymous · Answer

This can be solve by first dividing 480 by 576. We get 5/6. This is a fraction. now in order to make it a positive integer we multiply this fraction by 6 and we get 5. This means that if at the starting point we multiply 480 by 6 we will straight away get a integer i.e 5. So the value of n=6

Hint: another way to do this is to look at the prime factorization of both numbers

amistre64 · Answer

we can create the equalty

480n = 576s

and simplify it down a bit

5n = 6s

the first time a multiple of 5 and 6 are equal is at 30
