From module Arithmetic and Number Theory Basics

Problem

On June 11, a group of students is standing in rows, with 1515 students in each row. On June 22, the same group is standing with all of the students in 11 long row. On June 33, the same group is standing with just 11 student in each row. On June 44, the same group is standing with 66 students in each row. This process continues through June 1212 with a different number of students per row each day. However, on June 1313, they cannot find a new way of organizing the students. What is the smallest possible number of students in the group?
