At a math team meeting, the coach wants to give pieces of candy to
each student. The coach knows that there will be 9, 10, 11, or 12
students at the meeting. What is the smallest positive number of
pieces of candy that the coach should take to the meeting to be
certain that each student receives the same number of pieces of
candy and no candy is left over?
