    We need to find the lowest common multiple ...

    multiples of 14 are : 14,28,42,56,70,84,98,112,126,140,154

    multiples of 20 are : 20,40,60,80,100,120,140

    so the lowest common multiple is 140 ... so thats 140 minutes ... = 2 hrs 20 minutes ... from 8:00 = 10:20

    so they will both leave at the same time of 10:20 a. m. <==
