[b]p1.[/b] Darth Vader urgently needed a new Death Star battle station. He sent requests to four planets asking how much time they would need to build it. The Mandalorians answered that they can build it in one year, the Sorganians in one and a half year, the Nevarroins in two years, and the Klatoonians in three years. To expedite the work Darth Vader decided to hire all of them to work together. The Rebels need to know when the Death Star is operational. Can you help the Rebels and find the number of days needed if all four planets work together? We assume that one year $= 365$ days.
