Step One - List the factors of 60.
Step Two - Locate the factors that are seven apart from each other.

Factors of 60:
1 × 60
2 × 30
3 × 20
4 × 15
5 × 12
6 × 10

60 - 1 = 59
30 - 2 = 28
20 - 3 = 17
15 - 4 = 11
12 - 5 = 7
10 - 6 = 4

5 is 7 less than 12, and 60 is their least common multiple.

Answer: 5 and 12
