Hey

Since there is none left over for both groups of 10 and 4, the number of marbles must be an LCM of 10 and 4, which is 20. Check: 20/10=2 groups of 10, 20/4=5 groups of 4. Thus the LEAST number of marbles each has must be 20, while multiples of 20 are possibilities, such as 40, 60, 80,100, ..

goodluck
