    Both buses will arrive at the stop at 6:52 AM

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Wilkenson Bus = Arrives every 21 minutes

    Harris Road Bus = Arrives every 15 minutes

    Let's find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 21 and 15. LCM is found, listing the prime factors of each numbers and then multiplying each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either numbers:

    LCM 21 = 3 * 7

    LCM 15 = 3 * 5

    LCM (21, 15) = 3 * 7 * 5 = 105

    In 105 minutes both buses will arrive at the same time again

    105 minutes = 1 h 45 min

    5:07 AM + 1h 45 min = 6:52 AM
