Nice analysis if you're into juggling formulas and theorems. I prefer a more pictorial argument like: a=24: a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a

Nice analysis if you're into juggling formulas and theorems.
I prefer a more pictorial argument like:
a=24: a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
b=18: b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b
d= 2: d d|d d|d d|d d|d d|d d|d d|d d|d d|d d|d d|d d
d= 3: d d d|d d d|d d d|d d d|d d d|d d d|d d d|d d d|
d= 4: d d d d|d d d d|d d d d|d d d d|d d d d|... no good;
multiples of d must hit the ends of b and a
