Not even sure how to start with this one or how to calculate

Remember when you learning about the "Least Common
Multiple" and you wondered when in the world you would

Well, here you are !   Hello !

The next time they will cross the starting line together is the
LCM (Least Common Multiple) of 30 and 40 .

Do you remember how to find it ?
Here's one easy way: 

Count by 30s until you come to a number that's divisible by 40 .
