In 1800 , old Somali father asked his 7 sons to find their lost camels and recover them, acouple day trip and huge ground to cover so he explained to them which directions each will take and the area to look for.
After a day of a search two of his sons end up meeting and discovering the camel between them, they suddenly thought about ditching their brothers and skipping the cattle to nearby region, they started to divide the cattle between them but unfortunately one camel was left and they foolishly started argueing who who should get and deserve it.
Another son heard all the commotion and discovered these two brother's holding each other one collar with a dusty spear, they explained what they planned and how they want to divide the camels amongst them and not go back home.
The third brother was persuaded too and the camels were divided into three this time, it divides into three with one extra camel for each to claim like before, another fight over the same scenario with each new brother ,untill the camels divided perfectly to all the 7 brothers with no extras, how many livestock/camels did they had?
