The least number of pens each boy can have brought is 60

<h3>How to determine the least number of pen?</h3>

We have:

Vincent = 6 packs

Aidan = 20 boxes

Factorize 6 and 20

6 = 1 * 2 * 3

20 = 1 * 2 * 2 * 5

Multiply all factors

LCM = 1 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5

Evaluate the product

LCM = 60

Hence, the least number of pens each boy can have brought is 60
