How many candy bars are in the box?

Question

14 kids find a box of candy bars. They divide them so that the nth kid to take their share gets n/14 of the remaining amount of the box. What is the minimum possible amount of candy bars in the box so that each kid gets an integer number of bars?

Answer 1

In order for each kid to get an integer number of bars, n/14 needs to equal an integer, or a whole number

The smallest number to do so is 14, since 14/14 = 1 (anything less than 1 is not an integer)

This would mean that a minimum of 14 candy bars need to be in the box so that each kid gets 1 bar.
