    To find when they all meet, we have to find the lowest common multiple (LCM). To do that, we can do a bit of guess and check where we find the multiples of the highest number and see if they're multiples of the other 2. Since 10 is a multiple of 5, we know all multiples of 10 are multiples of 5, so we just have to find when 10 and 8 meet. 10*1=10, which doesn't work. 10*2=20, which doesn't work. Neither does 30, but for 40, 8*5=40 and 10*4=40, proving that all 3 are together every 40 days
