Answer:

14 dvd cases

5 envelopes

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the least common multiple of 5 and 14

Find the prime factors

5 = 5*1

14 = 2*7

Multiple them together

2*5*7 = 70

The least common multiple is 70

70/5 = 14 so we need to buy 14 dvd cases

70/14 = 5 so we need to buy 5 envelopes
